Rear sliding window...do you use it?

Yes I use mine on my access cab and yes beer tastes good.

In all honesty, it cuts down on cabin turbulence with all windows open, and it's a killer way to get a CB wire outside to my mag mount.

 

I never use mine and have only open it to clean the glass. Although a power slider would be nice.

 

Getting the responses that I figured. Like I said, I used the rear window in my 2004 access ALL the time. It's great for ventilation and creates an awesome flow through the cab without the noise.

I just wish I could reach it on my 09 double cab.





Wait...I did use it once - I bought a 16' metal strip from Lowes and ran it from the dash and out the rear window. Worked great for the purpose!

 

I've had a slider in my last two Rangers and used them all the time. I wish my DC had a electric slider so it was easier to use. Since owning the truck for two weeks now, I've used it once.

 

I use it most of the time. It helps with the noise, and better circlation

 

X2.

I would love to have a power rear window like the Tundra, complete with defoster. I will settle with a power slider. I do use it because it really lets the air through, and cuts down the noise when other windows are open. I can't reach it, and always forget to open it before I start driving. So, I have reclined the seat and strained to get it open during red lights. I'm very tempted to get the power slider from CR Lawrence, but they are very expensive. $450 shipped, plus install. You can get it here.

Or maybe I'll try rigging something up myself.

 

You have a roll-cage...

The whole window from side to side goes down? I think that would look weird. Would love to see a picture of one like that.

I wouldn't like people staring right in at me from behind. Not hiding anything but that would just be weird. Somehow it's worse, in my mind, than being in a convertible.

 

I answered "no" but i guess i lied - i have used my window in my DC to haul long things such as trim, pipes, etc. i just usually hang onto the other end. the one time i was doing that though it was like a vacuum sucking in dirt from my truck bed. i don't think I will use it again! i cleaned sawdust from inside my truck for days!

 

Use it all the time.

I have a regular cab, BTW.

I can reach the rear slider in my DC just fine without leaning the seat back or any other tricks. Are you guys midgets or do you all have arms like a T Rex?

 

I dont use it because everytime i think of using it im already on the road. I do get the passengers in the rear to open it if they have opened the other rear windows though, it stops that annoying shuddering.

 

both

 

I never really think about it until i'm driving and then it's too late to open it up. I have used it a handful of times though. I just wish it was electric like on the Tundras

 

Sorry but I tried that tonight. I'm 6'2" and have long arms. I did not adjust my seat and there was no way I was reaching it. You either have freakishly long arms or keep your seat back "gangsta' style

 

I do use it. The first time that I did use it was the day after picking up bushes to plant in the yard and I start getting pelted in the head with bark and stuff flying around in the bed and getting sucked into the cab, lesson learned. it is a good stretch to reach the window in my access cab, a few more inches further and it would not happen while driving.
