motorized rear window?

[Joe93]

Has anybody motorized their rear window in the hatch? Like in the Broncos. Is it even possible. I know their would be alot of modifying to do, like the remounting the hatch to fold down. Just courious.

I would not imagine that to be too possible because of the angle of the rear door. The rear of Broncos and other such vehicles are virtually straight up and down allowing a plate of glass to slide up and down as well. I always like the windows that did that... but I think we'll have to wait for Ford to build 'em that way.

Hmmm, I don't think there is a simple, safe way of motorizing the hatch window to go down into the hatch. However, you might be able to get the parts for the new motorized hatches on Mopar minivans and adapt it to work with the window to lift it up. However, I've had to drive with the rear window open a few times and don't like it very much due to excessive noise, faint exhaust fumes, and the flapping of the window. Also, it might cost some bucks to buy the Mopar parts and adapt them. Good luck!
