Not having an FJ yet, I had a question about the rear window... When you release it(either with the key or one of these switches) what happens? Does it just unlatch or does it open?
I'm trying to hunt down an FJ to buy but while I'm waiting I wanted to find out about opening that back window. My desire being the ability to remotely OPEN the back window for better airflow while driving.
I had an epiphany moment about 5am this morning and couldn't go back to sleep. My thought was to use a spring to pop the window out far enough for the piston to take over. Placing the spring on the piston's arm, or if that won't work, maybe right above the latch and pushing on the glass. But not knowing how the window opens or how the piston operates(b/c I don't have one yet) I figured I'd throw the idea out there.
Just pull over and pop the window.:cheers:Not having an FJ yet, I had a question about the rear window... When you release it(either with the key or one of these switches) what happens? Does it just unlatch or does it open?

Well thats terribly convenient!Just pull over and pop the window.:cheers:
I'm finally getting around to this mod myself and had a question or two:
1) Is there a way to pop the latch without locking all the doors?
2) Would any of these work? Rockers
or these? Momentary Rocker
x2. You absolutely need "momentary" rockers for both switches. I ordered mine from Grainger: Part#'s 2LNH4 and 2LND6I'm finally getting around to this mod myself and had a question or two:
