Has anyone ever made a lift up rear window on a bronco?

I would think hinging on the fiberglass top would prove to be the hardest part... after finding the right size piece of glass. THEBIGGEST QUESTION IS...WHY?

For glass, you could lexan you can cut and plane for just about anything. The fiberglass would have to be reinforced that could possibly be done with metal backing or even wood. Well I had a busted up windown but it got taken care of. Making the lift up window was just and option.

Okay so you busted out your rear glass. Your thinking of putting a piece of plastic that hinges from the top? Well, it will look like a cob job.

You want to do it cheap! Cut the lexan to fit in the old window track and use your exsisting mechanism. It will still look like plastic but it will work.

And hanging the lexan would only be temporary
