Hi,
I wanted to get an idea from you guys about something very non-technical and arguably trivial. I apologize if this is a common topic. I did search first.
I want to be able to drive with the rear window open/lifted. The truck is a 2001 full size Tahoe, and I just purchased it. The truck has the tailgate and window, not the barn doors. But I wanted to know if it is a bad idea to drive with the tailgate open - hear your stories of window lift gates snapping or breaking, and anything else you may want to add.
I know it is small and trivial, but I do want to have this option, so if this is a horrible idea and the people I see driving around with their rear window lifted open are all just asking for trouble - please let me know in this thead. Additionally I was wondering if any of you know of any aftermarket part that stiffens the spring on that rear hatch or if I should just give up the idea altogether.
Thanks very much,
Erik
