    Default Ute rear window - retro fit open/close

    Hi all just something I have been looking for for a while I want to find someone or some info on how I can make my rear window in my vz ute adjustable Holden used to do this in the old school kingwood utes and I wonder why it's still not an option. I have seen this on newer utes such as the navara I think or something of the sort but they have the rear window cut into three sections where the middle section comes down while the side pieces are fixed. Preferably I would like the whole window to be able to open/close and if it wasnt too much to ask have it electric also, does anyone know of anywhere or anyone who does this sort of mod?

    somebody would do it for ya people can do anythin if you have the money. It could be tricky though cause the tray is on an angle at the back so it goes directly under the window

    i guess a retracting cable would be fine for the demister seems like a bit of a screw around though for no real gain

    If it can't roll down because of the tray maybe I can look at getting like a rear window sun roof where it folds back onto the hardlid this would still be pretty sweet

    I looked at this for my 2011 S2 ute with canopy.
    cheapest option I found was go to a boat window mob that make custom sized windows.
    they do sliding glass panels and fold out/up ones too. Cheapest was about $350 to have the window made.
    Also looked at the 'dream' fit out of a power window with a limo building company and got a rough quote around the $10-$15k mark!
    Think i will just have the glass popped out and go without.
