Never. I have disabled the motor and cleanly sealed the window tight.
Anyone in the rust zones will be familiar with the rusted out tail gate. A lot of dust, mud, salt and wet runs down that glass and into the cavity of the tail gate. Mine had an 1/2 inch of yuck when I first bought it. After I cleaned and cavity waxed inside the gate I disabled and sealed the window tight.
I think the roll down window is to blame for most of the rusty tailgates one sees.

Ya I like mine but it rattles a bit when down part way...not as much as when it's down all the way but even then it rattles some too. But I like it part way down and unfortunately that rattling keeps me from using it as much as I probably would. It's like there's some play in it.
Is that normal?
It's on my list to take apart and see if I can figure out why it rattles or where that play is, but maybe that's in the design or someone else has some ideas on that?

I had mine down on my tundra a LOT but had to make sure to keep the bed clean or keep it under 50 so trash wouldn't swirl into the back of my head and on the dash. All 4 windows and the back galss down = AWESOME!
The hatch on our 15 4runner hasn't gone down but once while driving because of exhaust. Reroute outlet to front of rear tire.. enjoy! Maybe cruising really slow it would be ok but at speed too much low pressure coming through the back with exhaust, dust and whatever else even with all 4 and the sunroof open.
I figured it was more of a grocery getter item since the limited doesn't come with the automatic hatch like the highlander.

It's down all the time as long as the weather is nice. By far and away my absolute favorite feature on this truck.

I keep mine down as much as possible when the weather permits! All the better to listen to the exhaust.
There's nothing better then rolling down all the windows and popping the sunroof on a nice 70 degree day :thumb3:

As often as I can, but that isn't very often [emoji23]
I love that it rolls down. I want a Tundra just because of that... and my wife is 100% with me on that too.
Maybe Ford will follow suit when I'm ready to buy a new pickup- that would really tickle my fancy.

Here in NE Florida, I have the rear window rolled down every time I use my 97 T4R, SR5. Lack of AC forces me to use 4-40 AC and with the rear window open...fresh air all the time.

I have it down 95% of the time here in SW Florida
Whether it's 40 degrees or 104 degrees unless its hot out and I'm heading to work or school cause I dont want to be sweaty all day. I dont even turn my A/C or heat on in the winter months and pray it works come spring LMAO
Nothing better than all 5 windows down and the sunroof open screaming down the highway with the radio blaring, tires howling and exhaust humming :guitar3:
