New Backglass window MOD.
According to the wife, this mod is really easy to do. Just leave one of the barn doors open in the rear, then try to close the liftgate on it.
Here is the alternate version, with trash bags.......
Safelite is coming wednesday to install new OEM glass. The question is this, the Safelite guy asked me if I had "high-amp" glass or just normal. Of course I assume this refers to how many amps the defroster in the glass is going to pull. How do I figure which was original to the truck.....?

Took me a while to figure this out but you can also open the two lower doors more than the 90° if you undo the little bracket in the frame. Very helpful if you are pulling a trailer and need to get stuff out of the back.

OUCH! Sorry to hear that. Wonder if you can make a sliding glass window from a SuperDuty fit? That might be sort of cool.

HEY! I did that mod back in February the day before I was going to replace my struts..
My struts were shot, it was cold as hell outside, and my prop rod decided it had enough and gave out...
$365 later, had a new rear glass...

I have mine disconnected. I saw my neighbor struggling to get a coller in and show him. It's nice with them disconnected because it a lot easier to load and unload. And the doors don't hit the truck so its OK.
