Do you use the Rear Window?

I'm curious for double cab owners: do you use the rear sliding window? Can you reach it from the driver's seat? Or is it too far of a reach?

 

I opened it once since I bought it. I can't reach it normaly from the drivers seat, I wish it was powered. Oh well

 

I use mine all the time. I'm 6'7" so I can reach back to open it. During the summer time I'll leave it open alot just to keep my truck cool. It's nice to have open so my girl doesnt complain with the other windows down while I'm smoking. Cant have her hair get messed up!

My only complaint about the window (other than the lack of power) is that the weather seal likes to get pulled out by the sticker I have on the back window so I have to be a little carefull opening and closing it.

 

I think I've opened mine up once just to say I opened it. I love rolling with the windows down, but I always forget about the one just because I can open all 4 other ones automatically.

 

Yeah

 

between my 2000 and 2010 taco, both were access cab and i can count on one hand how times times its been open.

 

Not a whole lot but when i ready to rock out and have the windows down i do. Usually do it when i am in good mood or leaving work on friday.

 

Im tall so I can reach it if I try...but probably not a good idea while driving

 

I just find it funny when you have it open and if you have leaves or plastic bag they fly in.

 

haha this...


I had mine open one time driving down the freeway, also had an empty can of dr. pepper sitting in the bed. So there I am on the 101 going about 75 in the fast lane and all of a sudden "WWWHHHAAAAAMMMMM"!!! The can flew through the window and smacked the dash in between the two front seats. Scared the crap out of me.

 

i have a reg cab...solves the reaching problem ....great when driving on the interstate so you don't get blown away by lowering the front windows

 

Can't reach it, so i never use it. I had a moonroof installed and use that all the time though

 

How much was it to do the Moon roof? and what did you do with compartments and Compass?

 

i've used mine 3 times....2 times to install and remove my satellite antenna

 

I hardly ever use it while in the city.

Only times I really use it is when going camping or such... The cooler is in the back and within arms reach from the rear window... Gotta have passengers of course.

 

i use mine when i go on trails and stuff. dont want the windows down cause of the dust but its nice to keep the air moving somewhat.

 

Had a Webasto 700 series installed for about $800 and some change. The Sunglass holder was removed, but everything else remained intact as is.

Some models keep the sunglass holder, it just depends on which one you get and the year and model of your taco.

Good info in this thread:

My Redneck answer: Yes while country cruisin, to reach the cooler.

 

to get a coke right?

 

Mine does the same thing! The weather strip gets pulled out almost everytime i open the thing!
