Unless they find the pieces (highly unlikely), I doubt if they will ever determine exactly what caused the damage.
They found paint transfer marks on the fuselage, so it's pretty much established that parts of the nacelle impacted the fuselage.
It should be fairly straightforward to determine if the damage around the paint marks correlates with the window failing.
