Anyone seen a rolling rear window?

I have heard of guys using a blazer motor/window channel but I dont think I have ever seen one. I think it would be really cool to have the back window of a truck roll down. There are the breezer windows which pop out but havent seen one of those before either.

I like the idea of the window that rolls up and down like a blazer rear window... That'd be super cool!

I have seen a roll up one in a newer truck, like a Toyota or something. I have also seen the ones that you can pop out and that kind of neat.

The new Toyota Tundras have a roll down rear window.

When our trucks were new, I remember seeing an advertisement for a power roll down window. Of course, I was 13 in 1987, and didn't have any cash.

Several years ago a poster on ChevyTalk said that it was a dealer installed option on our trucks. I have never seen one...

It was a dealer option and an aftermarket item at one time. It was expensive at took up too much space behind the seat.....

I have seen adds for the aftermarket for one. Use to be an advertisement in Truckin. They also have a power slider.

Hay you know that pick up truck exlorer has that. The center rolls down. It's about a 30 inch wide section and then two side. Bet it could be made to work.

I saw a custom 73-79 at a car show several years ago that had a power rear window and if I remember correctly it was a blazer/burb rear gate window... Looked factory, too. I imagine it would be pretty intensive to retro fit all the guts and channel into a cab. Would be very very cool, though..

My mom has a newer Toyota. Toyota sends her propaganda all the time. Toyota now offers this as a option on the new 4door truck.

That doesn't make sense...yes they can be pulled out easy, but how practical is that? What do you do when it rains? Where do you put it when it is pulled out? Carry it with you?

I think he wants it to be able to be rolled up and down, like a side window.
