In what order should you replace spark plugs?

Does it matter the order of spark plugs?

Why is the window on my Holden Commodore cracking?

Usually due to rust under the seal as well. Naturally the window has to be removed and is quite possible that it will crack, especially if there are chips etc. Repair the rust if present,and reseal with a new seal.
