How does the rear window work? Fixed? Or does it roll down into the tailgate? Or does it swing upward? Is it framed at all?

Matthew...you are one of the few who has followed Bronco from CAD to KOH.Rear glass flips up. Tailgate has to open first then glass. Glass down first when closing.
What did I order: Cactus Grey Badlands with manual (2.3 obviously) I kept the stock wheels, because I actually prefer the look and they'll take 35's just fine. I kept the MGV seats and upped to High package for the screen (really wanted heated steering wheel but not paying for Lux for that). Short term I will throw on some 35's with no lift, just removing the crash bars if they cause and issue. I know it may not look as "cool" as the sasquatch but having more downtravel than uptravel will let the IFS flex better (that's what SFA does afterall) and it obviously still handles speed very well!Looking now at the 'real deal'...what do you like most/least? What surprised you in the final product? What did you order?
If it rolled into the tailgate you would have to swap the glass window out for the vinyl window when switching between hard and soft topsHow does the rear window work? Fixed? Or does it roll down into the tailgate? Or does it swing upward? Is it framed at all?
I think you're going to 'push' your Bronco much more than I - performance wise. I'm in the NC mountains @4,000ft and will use it mainly on Forest Service roads grouse hunting, plus annual hunting jaunts to MI, ME, or the plains states. I was immediately drawn to 2-door BD, 2.7, & Advanced 4x4, with the alum wheels. I doubt I'll mod anything, but I'll enjoy it immensely. Its a design echo of something I wanted, but couldn't come close to affording in the late 60's.What did I order:

What surprised me the most:
Just flip the rear window up and drive around like that. Granted it’s not the exact same and no remote roll down, but it’s what I do on my Jeep and it works great.How does it work? Like absolute shit. Ford quite literally went with the worst possible option for the rear window operation that they could have.
Sorry, big fan of the rear window on the FSB. have my rear window down right now...still too chilly in the morning for me to take the top off.
OR you could just leave the glass rolled down into the tailgate when the soft top is installed...If it rolled into the tailgate you would have to swap the glass window out for the vinyl window when switching between hard and soft tops
