I have visually and physically inspected every inch of the glass and cannot find an origin or any sort of impact so I don't think it was that.

Tempered glass - it is under tremendous internal stress - sometimes too much stress and it breaks - most likely a manufacturing defect.

Isn't the regular Lancer glass thicker? I know it is for the front windshield. I'd reinstall the original glass.

This is what I was thinking from the pics.
