    Can't reach it from the drivers seat, but I use it a good bit. Sunroof and back window open combo is perfect, much less wind noise even on the interstate.

    When they put in my sunroof, I sacrificed my overhead console, but the compass is still there. Totally worth it though.

    And x2 on the easy cooler access too.

    I open mine all the time. Its great for the dogs to stick their heads out of. They love it. I'm 6 1 and I can reach it but its a bit of a strech for me. I have to really lean back and make sure i'm driving in a straight line before I do it.

    As a contractor I have used the window many, many times. A 12ft. plank fits 3ft. inside the cab, 6ft. over the bed, and only 3ft. out beyond the tailgate. This can be a work vehicle, you know!!

    Man, I use mine all the time. My son sits in the back and I get him to open it up. Sort of like having a rear window remote. It regulates air very well with just cracks in the front windows. I also have vent visors on the front 4 windows.

    I use mine all the time. I have a cap so I open that window, the front window in the cap, and I open the vent side windows on the cap...gets some fresh air moving without too much wind in the cab.

    Same here. On days when it's around 100 degrees I like to open up the rear window and the snug top window while parked to help cool everything.
    Take the time to tighten up the screws that are used for the window lock on the rear slider...had a screw come out the other day after offroading. I reinstalled them with lock-tight so it doesn't happen again.

    I have that same problem with the weather seal on mine. In fact, it is messed up right now. It's a bitch to get that thing back on there right- for me at least.

    I love the little back window. I use it a lot when camping. I'm looking for some kind of no-see-um mesh screen I can use for the window. If anyone has any good ideas for a custom solution please let me know!

    Had to charge my phone like that once, all ghetto-like.

    I do use mine a lot though. During the 5-6 weeks per year where the air is nice here in the desert.

    just a couple comfort items.
    I have a Engle fridge mounted in the back seat, Runs most of the time. I open the back to keep cab temps down while i am parked. Compressor runs a lot less.
