Hardtop back glass window porthole question

[MacNobody]

Does anyone know what the back glass looks like? Is it a manual slider or powered? I haven't been able to find any pictures of the inside back showing that.

I don’t think I’ve seen any videos showing anyone opening that rear window. But I would say that it’s more than likely a manually opening window. Main reason that I say this is because there is no mention of it anywhere as being a power operated window. You will see in the specifications that it has rear defrost. There’s lots of pictures out there of this window just no videos that I know of showing it being opened up.

Not hard to find, there are many photos and some video views on YouTube - probably right here too ! ? I don't recall his name but the Head "Jeep Guy" in a couple video interviews (so far) have indicated it is only MANUAL, however in a couple photos I saw yesterday (from the inside), It looked like I was seeing some Wiring to a small box below the right corner of the sliding window, SO ? I'd post it it I could remember where . . . ? . . . might in fact of also been on this Forum ! ? Certainly would be nice if it were Auto Powered via a dash button ! I've never seen such a button in photos ! Wish I could be more help .

Please see our photos from the LA show reveal: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...p-gladiator-debut-from-the-la-auto-show.8461/


We took these photos of the port window from the outside and inside, and also opened it. It operates manually.

Why does it seem from the outside that the glass is so much larger than it seems when you look at it from the inside? Look at the area below and above the center window.

looks expensive if you break it

Yep, looks like exterior design glass that is unusable as a window in those areas. The defroster lines confirm the usable viewing area. Looks to be about the height of my side windows in the Camaro. Good thing there is a backup camera I guess.

If I had remembered I would of posted in my Post, duh ! But I;m getting older & apparently more Senile by the day ?
Sorry, but now that I'm back online I will try to seek it out & if successful I will post it - promise ! It was real; I'm not insane, just a bit forgetful ! It's a "short-term" memory thing I suppose !

quick edit / ps; - as I was scrolling to the top I see JAY has post #4 & #5 photos . I also just realized the sliding window has heating wires in the glass too - so now I'm thinking the little box is for the connection heating the sliding window ! ! ! TaDa ! But I will still look around, unless JAY can confirm my thoughts (here) and perhaps put up a straight on photo of the rear window from the inside too ! ?

I think that this is the wire you are talking about, gives power to the rear defroster.
