I wish mine didn't even have that damn grid, makes it a pain to clean with the plugs on each end, hide it inside the glass or just run some vents to blow air on it, like the front and sides...

Amazingly, a near vertical piece of glass doesn't seem to accumulate a lot of frost.
I use it a lot to clear off the moisture, too.

I find the sliding window to be one of the most unused features on my truck. If I was to replace mine I'd see if there was a solid one with the defrost.
Looks like you just select either when scheduling.

Can somebody verify this part number is the solid rear window, with heat, tinted? I am getting mixed results if this is heated or not.

Does extended warranty cover the grid? Would Ford replace the glass or try a fix I wonder ??

I 'googled' the part number and got a range of results. Depending on where you are ordering it from I'd confirm with the vendor.

I've never used mine in 5 years with either of my Rangers. Even in my F150's I can recall using it one time. I had to pick up a batch of crown moulding for the carpenter at my house and opened it to slide it it up to the dash so it wasn't hanging out the bed 6'.

Well, the work order states stationary, solar, heated. I will meet the tech upon install and make sure it matches what I currently have before install.

Well I just noticed I have no rear defrost at all. The tab has come disconnected, along with the previous multiple compromised horizontal segments. Considering replacing the whole damn window. Quote from Safelite for self-pay is $446. Doesn't seem terrible.
Just had the rear window replaced. Only took the tech about 35 minutes. Looks great. Safelite is top notch, the whole process was easy. Total cost was $454.64 with tax, recycling fee (which they don't tell you up front) and $50 discount.
The only thing that annoyed me was they kept trying to upsell me on rain treatment and new wipers. Why would I need that for a rear window?

You should've told him "I use so much Graphene on my windshield I never need to use the wipers!" :captain: ?

Seriously though, it's good for glass?
