Rear power window?
Has anyone made their rear window roll up and down? i kinda thought it would be a cool idea, but just dont know how hard it would be to do.

Re: Rear power window?
I am making mine "POP OUT" at the bottom (like an Astro van side window does). I had the glass drilled and fitted, then I had it tempered, so that it owuld not crack. I am using window equipment from an Astro van.

Re: Rear power window?
I remember back in the '80's that there was a company that sold a window called a "Flex-View" or "Flex-Thru". It flexed at each end of the window to let air flow through. I don't know if it was glass or Lexan.

Re: Rear power window?
The one and only truck that I've seen with this addition was this past year at Goodguy's KS. I have some pics posted on the Goodguy's post in the shows and meets part of the board.
