Hi there, this has been bugging me for a bit, how do i open the rear window for the tailgate without shutting down the vehicle? I pick my gf up all the time from college and she has some stuff she wants to throw in the back but the only way it opens if the jeep is turned off. I put it in park, nothing, is there some other way that i dont know about? |

Good question. Mine will flip open, even if it's in gear, and i'm stopped, if i hit the window button. Must be a model year thing. |

.if you can't keep up with your KJ while it's idling in gear, you might want to try this NSFW/NSFK link http://youtube.com/watch?v=qRuNxHqwazs |

To make mine pop I have to push and hold the button much longer than if it is not in gear or not running....like it is a "are you sure" delay. |

I have an '02 Sport 4x4 3.7 w/auto. This has never been a problem, But from time to time as I pull my keys out of my pocket I accidently hit the rear window button on my remote entry key fob with in a few minutes I look in my rear veiw mirror and think that window is real clean the realize that the rear window is open as I drive down the road  OOPS.. I know I can deactivate this from a link on
http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25640 but I think I'll leave thing as they are. By the way this link is really cool as to tweeking your key fob functions.

is there a button in the jeep to open the rear glass? btw in just talkin about the glass, not the entire tailgate, i can open the entire thing while running, but i just wanted to open the rear glass. I use the remote key to try to open it since i dont see any button inside the jeep. |

I believe the "button" everyone is talking about is the one on the fob. |

on my 07, you have to unlock all doors by the door mounted switch. the you pull the swing gate handle about half way until you hear the actuator go off. ta-da, the glass swings up but the swing gate is still closed. it also does this while the car is in drive. then when your speed goes past 5MPH, you hear the same actuator lock the rear glass, then at 15MPH all the doors lock. if the glass is open as you drive, youll hear a "ding-ding-ding" and the odometer will spell out "GLASS" |

When I am stopping to pick up a passenger if I want the back hatch to open I have to open the drivers door first, and (I think) push the door unlock switch....then it will open. I may just have to open the door. |

Yeah, just unlock and it should open. On a side note, I love the way the glass pops open and the look on people's faces when they open it from the tailgate for the first time. |

It would have been nice to add a button on the dash to this. But for me, just hit the unlock button and barely pull the swinggate latch and it pops. I don't know about in gear though. In park, yes. I might have to try that... |

It is even more fun to be walking through a parking lot and see people walking past your KJ and then pop the rear glass. It makes them stop, look at the Jeep and then look around like they did something wrong. Also fun to be a row or two over and set off the panic button alarm and then keep walking and looking at them like they did something, all the while pretending it isn't your Jeep until they leave.... yeah I'm twisted.

umm this may sound like a dumb question, but do you unlock the doors after you put it in park? |
