Flip-Up Rear Window?

[vin5203]

Does anyone know if the rear window glass in the standard Slate truck flips up? It looks like the glass is hinged but I haven't seen it pictured in an open position. Thanks.

Probably not hinges but covers for the bolts that hold the back part of the roof. It is reused for the SauV version.

Like you, I'm waiting to hear Slate announce something about this rear cab panel too.

It occurs to me that one way to make the Slate a successful cult runabout is... Removable doors, rear glass and roof panels. Add AWD, which Slate has strongly hinted at, and you have a nice beach machine.

I'm thinking of the vast multitude of small Jeeps that have never left the pavement. They're just personal runabouts, making a style statement that the owner rejects conventionality (in favor of another type of conformity). Ditto for Defenders and Gelandewagens - albeit at a much higher price point.

I'm really interested in how the marketers at Slate adapt to the loss of incentives. They seem to have two major marketing themes right now. (1) "Just the basics". (2) "Customization Heaven".

I think they should add a third campaign down the road (3) "Reject convention".

I don't think the "incredibly cheap" campaign works any more, given the loss of incentives and what Ford has announced. I know the Slate marketers are to me like a rocket scientist is to a three year old, so I'm fascinated to see how they go to market.
