Something Different

I know this might sound stupid, my wife even asked what would the point be, but I think they should of made the back hatch window able to be rolled down. What do you guys think?

With the design of the rear of the car you would be sucking in all kinds of road crap. I that stuff that gets in the rear window would be in the car.

Yup. I agree on that.

Yeah, I figured that would be a problem, but I wouldnt drive with it down, take it to shows, and put the window down?? haha.

this'd be a very major mod. You could grab parts from an old suburban easy enough but to cut away all the metal to allow the wondow to be rolled down, then reenforce all of that... I don't see an electric back wondow happening for anything less than 5 grand.
I'll pop the gate.

What would be nice is for the glass to open up like on the S-10 blazer I had. Couple of holes for hinges and struts.

i thought of going somewhere to see if that could be done and how much it would cost

I'm not sure I like the roll down idea but flip up would be nice instead of lifting the whole back hatch to grab a bag of groceries.

Previous Suburban Owner and jimsmag06 is right, it's not fun!! My wife has a 4 runner and loves to drive with the rear window down and all kinds of crap gets in the car...!
