windshield breaking

this may seem wierd but last weekend while we were packing to go to the lake our windshield just broke. Nobody touched it, the temperature changed quite a bit as it heated up. Apparently these windshields are very difficult to put in since they rarely just "fit". could it be that mine had a lot of stress on it and finally broke?
has anyone heard of anything like this?
the boat is a MC X-10

I have never put a window in a X-10 but im guessing it cant be that diffrent than my Air Nautique,and I have done that it can be removed and reinstalled in 1 hr. Most windows and frames are made by "Taylor Made" hopfully your dealership can still order one for you.

Back when I had my Malibu I had the center window broken. Handle snapped back through the boat during some shortline stuff. Dealer fixed it pretty quickly and cheap.

Had a sanger 210 sitting in front of my store, same thing. No impact mark, no one around the boat. Just a shattered window.

I had mine shatter while towing on the way to a 14 day vacation. I called Tige while on the road, had them UPS a replacement to the closest glass place where we were staying and had it installed within 3 days. Tige went out of thier way to ensure I was able to get my replacement for the rest of my vacation. I am still finding pieces of the safety glass in hidden nooks and crannies 3 years later...
