Question Sliding rear window

Any one Know of an aftermarket Sliding rear window?
I have solid back glass. Many times wished I was able to open that back window. Especially with the dreaded buffeting sound with the windows down @ high speed

C.R. Laurence makes a nice sliding back window. I have one in my truck and I love it. Here is the site. http://www.crlaurence.ca/apps/conten.../index_ca.html

I never open my back glass...AND it's power...lol It throws the wind in the back of my head and I don't like that. The buffeting sound is caused by in-cab drop in pressure. I always drop the back windows about 4 inches if I put the front windows all the way down and it takes the wind out of pounding you in the face and also eliminates the pressure woes on your ears.

Wish there was a kit for the whole back glass to roll down. I have a rear sliding back glass, and as long as its not terribly hot outside I have it open and the windows down.

a friend of mine busted his back window. Kicked up a rock from his four wheeler. Anyway he was telling me that to replace it was difficult. That there was some metal tab or something that would have to be cut out? any one know about this?

if only you lived closer. i'd trade with you. i hate my rear slider and want solid glass.
and as far as the buffeting sound. just make sure your rear windows are an inch or two lower than the front and you'll completely eliminate it.
