To those of you with the sliding rear window on the back glass...do you use it often?

Mine has the power slider which I use often. If it was the manual slider I probably wouldn't use it because I have a QC and would want to climb in and open or close it all the time. Just me being lazy i guess. I did notice when i put a tonneau cover on I don't get the back draft I used to get from the air turbulence of the open bed which is much nicer

Mine is also a power slider and I find it very useful

I've used mine once to toss my dog a cheeseburger but it bounced off the tonnue cover. I forgot it was closed because of the sunshine. Don't want the paint faded.

I use mine often. Not all the time. Comes in handy when you have to fart. Open the back window, then the front two....... Fart...... I swear it gets cleared out in a micro second. It's almost like opening a hatch while in outer space. 794193756d852a4dff03889ef6eaee81.jpg

Now that it's cooler it will probably stay shut until spring.

I like opening mine when another pickup is behind me that doesn't have one!

Only a few times, just like if I had a sunroof. It's either too hot or too cold around to use any of those two. I still don't get the big deal with sunroofs.

Right now it's been nice but rather just use the a/c..

Agreed... I have the panoramic in my 2013 Escape and I always forget it's up there.

OP, where do you live? I decided against it because in Canada you won't use it for about half of the year. Although, a good point was raised with clearing out farts...

I've had ten Ram trucks since 1998, I ordered my 2007 2500 loaded with a sunroof and never used it. We had them on at least the past four suv's of my wife's and they never get used either. Would never get another truck with sunroof again. The power slider gets used all the time in the nice weather.

Use my rear slider all the time. Nice option if you don't use the ac all the time.

I've got a manual in my reg cab. Love it. On cool days I'll just open that for some fresh air.

Plus I can hear my exhaust better.

I used to use it every day until the bottom center seal started leaking when shut (now I can't even drive it in the rain). Since they don't make a replacement gasket it looks like I'd have to buy an entire unit...sucks.
