Would you want a powered sliding rear window?

[Falcor]

Yes, please!!!! I briefly tried to do this myself using a powered window opener. It would have worked, but was gonna be bulky. I remember seeing something done like this from a Tocoma forum.

I ran across this one today.

I am not a fan of Jeeps (and other vehicles) adding more and more "stuff" that will eventually break at some point. For a power rear window whatever .... in my opinion, there is no way I would pay for it unless it was already there and I was buying it off the lot. The only time I have ever even opened mine was when I went to Home Depot and bought some 12' trim. I opened the little window in the back, slid the trim in, and drove home.

Maybe I'm the odd one here but I nearly bought a '24 Max Tow instead of my '24 JTR. The Max Tow was about 10k less (32k vs. 42k when Stellantis was giving the big discounts in '24 and '25). The Max Tow had the roll up windows (I think '24 was the last year they were available). Anyway, I would have bought it but at the last minute they would not sell it to me since there was the recall thing for something on the dashboard that didn't work properly and they had been waiting for 6 weeks to get the part but still hadn't received it and had no idea when it would be available for sale since they can't sell a vehicle with an outstanding recall. Anyway, I know it sat it the back of that dealer for another few weeks and I ended up buying my JTR at another dealer.

So short answer is, no, I wouldn't pay a penny for another power anything.
