Learning from the earlier versions...

So I'm thinking...how to setup the rear window. I'm thinking a piano hinge attached to some more Lexan that's below the metal stud. Incorporate a center latching/locking setup like what you would find on a camper top. This would allow me to unlatch, flip the rear window up enough to open/drop the tailgate down without lifting the entire cap up. This would allow me to use the hatch to keep others from opening the tailgate...since ours don't have a factory locking setup.

The previous versions had a static window which required me to have the hatch as high as possible to clear the bottom of the window. With the hinged window, I should be able to clear it without worrying about smacking the bottom of the window with something.

If I go with the domed version...my rear view is much better. If I go flat, I'll be left with the hinged window. More brainstorming to do...
