ok I know that Honda is a bad word in here, but I got to drive My father in laws Del sol the other day with the top off and the back glass rolled down and man it felt good. I know I have seen the Fiero with the removable back glass, but i was wondering if anyone has ever made a fiero with a slide down electic glass window in the back like the del sol? The window feature was the only thing really cool about the del sol i must admit. The contols and the dash and the exterior are no way near as great as my Fiero.

I've had this thought many times since the del Sol came out, but there is no place for the rear glass in a Fiero to 'roll down' into... it would hit the engine if it went straight down.

I think Skitime's removable pop-out back glass is as close as we'll come to the del Sol setup.

i remember someone mentioning trying to alter a pickup truck window to fit a fiero so you could slide the middle open. don't know if they got anywhere with it.

I like the rear truckwindow idea......I have it already on my truck! ;-)) wouldn't like it in my fiero though...And I thought that the fiero's rear window was part of the structural frame, it seems to be much thicker than a normal window... I'll rather have T-Tops.

I know, skytime did a great job doing the rear window trick, though it's only the middle part of it. Would there be a way to work around the whole window, clip on.

Now imagine a kind of Duke of Hazzard quick way to get in to drive away from Rosco.
