Could it be that the door glass adjustment is off causing the glass to be under stress when it is all the way up? Glass does get brittle as it ages.

The frame is adjustable, two adjustments in the door where the frame attaches and one at the back and top of the door.
The glass should be pivoting on it's metal and rubber attachment to the frame but if not adjusted properly, balanced between the two adjustments it could be under stress at one end or the other at the top. A single 10mm bolt connects the metal holder at the bottom of the glass to the lift mechanism. It should not be too tight as to allow the glass to move, tip side to side, as it goes up in the frame.
That is very scary.
If the glass radius did not quite match the frame radius on the driver door that could also be the cause, pinching the glass as it goes to the up position. I suppose you could check the glass tightness, when it is all the way to by trying to move it by hand to see if it is too tight.
