How does that rear window work on the SUV?

[jonboy108]

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.

That's a great question!
They don't have information about that to disclose yet.
They'll have more details closer to production.
Stay tuned...

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.

Have you seen any pictures of the slant back SUV with the back window open?

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.

Yes it opens the Slate commercial with the smelly hockey bag. I think they are still in the design stage on the slant back top. Not many pictures of it. That is the one I wanted, without back seats and roll bar. I might have to go aftermarket, Leer makes tops to fit almost every truck.

I wonder if the back glass in the SUV style will open like my 07 Jeep Liberty. Tailgate closes first and glass latches down to that. To open, the glass unlatches when you pull the tailgate handle.

I believe all my previous tops followed that.
