Sliding Rear Window Vs Defrosted Rear Window

[wayland1985]

I think the open-air would be nicer, but let's hear your opinions:

I have a defrost , but i miss my slider from my first s10 i owned....

 

was so nice in summer time

[Gregorio]

Slider looks like crap IMO on these trucks.

lol, I'm in S. Texas...have had a few cars with rear defrost...never, like never turned on the rear defrost...i think it would be hard on the limo tint...

Depends where you live.

 

Since you're in Boston, you may get more use out of the defroster

 

I'd have liked the slider in the summer....both days of it

never needed a defroster in my 2000 so I went with a slider in my 2010. Still havent needed the rear defrost. Go with the slider

Even though we get tons of snow here in Cleveland and rear defrost is used quit a bit during the winter. Sliding rear window is one option I miss on this truck. Saw the new Ford Raptor at the Auto Show and it had Sliding Rear Window with Rear Defrost

The sliding rear is awesome. If I crack a front window and crack the slider the amount of airflow is amazing. I will always buy my trucks with the slider from now on.

It is really humid here in Florida, so I like having the rear defroster to remove the moisture and fog in the morning, if I have to park the truck outside overnight.

Neither. Both look like crap.

What, may I ask does not look like crap then?

Ya I hear that, but if you get a limo rear window tint like mine you do not bother looking out the rear window too much and at night have to open slider to see at all...like the slider and will get a hole in the roof too on my next one...

When I bought my truck (LT) it came with the rear defroster, which I have never used. I did not think it would matter, but thought I could swat it out for a slider later.

 

Well, I am upset that I do not have the slider (no matter how goofy it looks), and the rear window apparently has to be cut out and a new window installed professionally...a big deal. My last Chevy truck was easy to swap out the solid glass for a slider...took about an hour.

 

Well, the next truck will for sure have a slider...I really miss the dumb thing...

 

Anyone know any tricks for an easy sway??? ugh!!

[Stex]

They do not waste time with a small slider to break into your truck...

A plain window with no ugly lines or doors inviting a break in.

 

 

You sound just like the GM guy who suggested eliminating the standard defroster form LT GM trucks.

[RyanbabZ71]

doors inviting a break in.

 

Unless you are a small child good luck getting through it. I would love to catch someone stuck in mine
