Power Rear Window

[Phillipjon]

Does anybody have it on there truck?

[MS3DALE]

I do....Love it!

[RyanbabZ71]

Yes, no complaints here

I have it on mine, and it comes in handy sometimes. I was carrying some 10' long 2x4s and instead of having them stick out the back of the truck, I opened the window and slid them part way inside the cab. once I secured them down to the cargo rails in the bed I was good to go!

I've got it, don't mind it, don't have much use for it though.

[Phillipjon]

Can I get it installed at the dealer? If so, does anybody know how much? Where is the up and down button located?

Good question. I wanted a slider on my 09 and passed on several trucks that lacked such. Several dealers told me they could not install one and missed a sale. You might be able to but I was told all sorts of problems and if you could the cost would be high. Even aftermarket is high ($600-700).

What I don't get about all the windows is the express down or lack thereof. My mom's 05 Jeep has express down for the driver's window, my truck has for the 2 front windows. I know some vehicles have it for up and down. It is not that hard to do once you've done it for 1 window for 1 direction, the rest is a a snap. Why can't I have express down AND up for all windows including the rear slider, ya, it would be express open and close, same idea though. And why did they put the rear slider window switch on the upper console away from all it's brothers and sisters down on my freaking driver's door panel? I know it's not a normal window, but come on it's still a window that opens.

 

Also, why does that worthless window lockout button not lockout the front passenger window controls? I know it's to protect kids or something and in the front you can watch them, but why can't I lockout that window. When I first got the truck, my dad sat there and kept rolling it up and down for no reason. I almost kicked him out of the truck.

No one touch up (express as you say) is a safety issue. Also note that to close the window you lift up on the switch. This ia also a safety issue. Remember the child killed when left in a car and stood on the window close button.

 

The slider switch is where it is because that is where the wiring harness for the slider runs.

I think it was a Nissan Murano I rented that had the express up.

 

I say don't leave your kid in the car and then they can't strangle themselves. I'm sick of parents being to inept to do what they should do so we have to have all these specially designed switches and everything.

 

Since the truck has the CAN bus, they could have easily put the switch on the door and opened and closed the rear slider that way, like opening any of the other windows from the driver's door.

I do....Love it!

 

This is one option I regret not getting....Couldn't find a truck that had it with everything else I was looking for!!!

[Deconstruction]

I have the power sliding rear window in mine, It came with the truck and I bought it second hand.

 

asthetically I prefer the solid glass rear window and provided I would have bought the truck new, the sliding rear window would not have been an option I would have got.

 

It is quite cold where I am right now so I havent used the slider yet

[VT_Z71]

The power sliding rear is definately one of my favorite options. It also one of the biggest 'oohh and ahhh' getters when new people take a ride in my beaut.

This is why I ordered my truck the way I wanted with the options I wanted and I got the freaking thing loaded. I'm finally in a position where I can have a nice truck and since my '02 has 256k miles and has been paid off for a while....it was time.

 

I won't be averaging anything close to 32,000/year in this truck either, so I plan on keeping it a while if it's close to being as dependable as my '02 has been.

 

Just have to wait another week.

If GM had offered the rear window that openned the whole thing up and down like the foreign trucks, I'd have bought it. But frankly, I have a shell now and no boot between it and the cab anyway. I found in my past two trucks with shells and boots, I never installed a rear openning window nor never wanted for openning it anyway. So, this shell got custom ordered without the boot.

 

I'm glad they changed the switches to the now globally standard 'lift to raise' type. I just wish more features on all cars got as standardized as that window swithch.
