What varieity? I've been an Roadster owner (had three of them so far) in nine years, I've never heard of a car that was in the north it's whole life experiencing a window failure.
It is well documented, MANY of us have come out to our car (myself included) with the car sitting in the sun and finding the window coming loose. The glue actually turns soft and looks like chewing gum, stretching from the fabric to the glass. (In my case, the car was in my storage unit last summer, it was 105F in there, and as I walked past the car, I saw it.)
It is obvious, they used adhesive that breaks down in the heat.
