I have it on good authority it will be on a toggle switch in the glove box I am going to the public reveal here at KSC on the 3rd so I am hoping they let us sit in them/touch them so I will let you know for sure. BTW, Semper Fi and mad respect...I was in 7/2 and briefly 3/1 but it was just after the embassy feel in '75 so never had a shot fired at me in anger. Glad you made it home in one piece...I used to read the after action reports when I was on barracks' guard duty, you guys were some brave SOB's in a very hostile environment against a very well trained, supplied and led enemy...in his backyard.

Confirmed that the second switch to the right of the roof switch is the rear window switch which works if the top is up or down!

Pretty cool that someone caught that...and seems to confirm there will be a rear wind deflection window...which just furthers my opinion that the spider option with not be inexpensive like the C7 Vert. was.

My Nissan Titan pickup has a power retractable rear window, as does every Tundra. I don't expect that to make a big difference.
