I’m curious about the function of the rear window; does it open independently of the tailgate? I’m thinking of old school station wagons or pickup camper shells where you can just open the window without opening the tailgate.

Are you talking about the slant back SUV? I have tried to find a picture of that one with the glass open, and have not seen one. It should open, but I don't see how it's hinged. It might open the same as the other one. The other style uses the same window as the pickup, but the slant back shows a taller window.

One of their shorts shows it open, I'll try to find it. If I remember it didn't show how to lock it closed which is something I wonder about.

One of the videos of the square back just confused the issue. They opened the tailgate then the window, then closed the tailgate before the window if I recall correctly. The only conclusion to be drawn was that it was non-final hardware, and we don't know which piece is on the outside.
