So i was in my homie's 4runner, and he has this switch that rolls down the back window on trunk door. I was wondering if that is possible with the box? automatic roll down hatch windshield?

what you guys think?

 

That's going to depend on how the structure is set up in the hatch. I don't see a reason why it *can't* be done but it'll be damn tricky.

Probable list of things that need to be done:

-Fabricate window glide rails
-Extend wiring for rear defroster so that it doesn't pull/break when window rolls down
-Find a good install location for the motor. Perhaps one off of a 4runner. *(just guessing)
-Modify the glass/have a new window made that *can* move. You'll probably need something smaller than what's there.
-Fabricate rain channels for water drainage.
-Wire the switch to your harness or direct wire it with fuses/relays as required.
-Modify handle hardware. You might want to shave the handle and have it open with push button to save room inside the hatch.

Just a small list. I'm not sure and my box is 7000 miles away right now. Can't exactly go out there and pull panels. But, uh, you give me ideas now.

 

Wouldn't be worth the effort... a flip-up one would be much easier and look better.

 

have any pictures of the flip up style?

 

You'd have to gut the electronics from the hatch and fabricate a lot. Not worth it in my mind. Flip up would definately be easier but I dont think anybody has done that yet...

 

^^ that souunds pretty cool but then is the problem with seals and leaks and stuff. other thing that you have to think about also
