It's a risk for sure and I guess that glass is not cheap or easy to replace right now.Did it with both my old jeeps and many times on the bronco. Only thing to be concerned with is if a rock or something flies over the roof and busts it.
We’ve had a couple blow the rear window out slamming the rear tire, 2 dropped there caps on the ground and 3 to date whose rear windows just blew out sitting. I haven’t seen a busted rear window from having it open yet.Yeah there was a guy here with a shattered back glass, dont remember the cause but it seems flimsy on my 2 door, but i guess in a fix you could
Its insured.. would fall under comprehensive.It's a risk for sure and I guess that glass is not cheap or easy to replace right now.
I have hauled lumber short distances around 10x. I would avoid large bumps and long distancesI did coming back from home depot since the planks I bought didn't fit in the back. I live two blocks away from one so for me it wasn't a big issue. For long trips? I'm not sure, but if you need to from the hardware store I would just drive slow and not too far. Do not drive off-road with it open. Too much bounce will cause it to probably slam on the tire.
Too young to remember real station wagons? Back windows rolled down. We are all still alive. Even without the rear window up, no seatbelts, and not wearing bicycle helmets while in a car.I d be most concerned that you don’t suck exhaust fumes into vehicle….
