Operable rear window

My Mother's Sport Trac has an operable rear window, that powers up and down. I would love to see that on all pick-ups or available as an aftermarket.

I believe most trucks offer some form of openable rear window as an option. My 2005 and then 2006 Tundra's had a rear windows that the whole thing dropped down completely.

Did you not know that some trim levels offer sliding rear window that open sideways? They are available as an aftermarket accessory.

I remember putting in power sliding rear windows in my early 2000 Super Duty trucks long before Ford offered them. People always stopped me to ask where I got them. CR Laurence made them. Probably make them for Ford today. Problem is, in those days, the rear window was a gasket put in with a rope in 10 minutes. Today, it's a glued in assembly that has to dry before use and rain. More labor, more cost.
