Rear window won't roll down

[twinmill28]

I drive an '07 H2 SUV and this has been a minor annoyance that I've ignored since we bought the truck---the rear window won't roll down.
I don't know if there's supposed to be a separate switch like the windows have, or if it's contained in the "all down" button?
Any body have any experience with this? I've driven a few SUT's and the way I got that back window down was the "all down" switch. I don't think it should be much different on the SUV's?

The rear door your refiering too has a fixed window that does not roll down. The SUT modle was set up like the chevy avaianche so the rear window and wall fold down to allow more cargo room. Thought my 04 did at first too I used to own an 88 suburan that did and upon futher inspaection I noticed their is no mechinal parts back there like the burb had. Would have been a nice feature too..

I'm confused. Are you talking about one of the rear doors? Because they have their own switches. But you say the rear widow, which leads me to think you mean the one in the rear hatch door. If this is the case, unless they changed something after '05, it does not roll down. On my truck the rear window is just a flat pane that is glued to the truck, just like rear side windows. It would be kinda cool though, if it went down. I'm sure the dog would love that!

That is an extremely rare option for the SUV. It has it's own seperate switch to control the rear window. The switch is located on the driver's side of the dash next to the outer vent. My 05 has this option and only think it was available only with Olympic White exterior color. I could be wrong though. My switch hasn't worked in quite some time though. For some reason it isn't getting power to it. I took the time to take a picture of it for you Twinmill. Sorry for the poor quality, but with the flash on it looked worse

:whaa: :mock: :giggle: :giggle: :giggle: :no:

Could the all window down switch be fried due to being soaked in milk?

 

[twinmill28]

I got it!!

Thanks to Zach's in-depth knowledge and ownership of the Olympic White H2, I was finally able to solve the mystery and the rear window works like a champ!

When I bought the deuce, the shady guy who sold it to me stated it served in "Presidential Service" and to never touch the red button on the dash.
As tempting as it was, I've never touched it, not even to Armor All. With the letters "R W" boldly emblazoned on the button center, I was under the impression it meant "Russian Warheads", as any true blooded American who's watched "War Games" (the BEST and most realistic movie ever to show how close to war America is at any given time) would know. I was NOT going to be the one responsible for starting WWIII !!!
Turns out "R W" simply means rear window, and I'm thinking there was a model year variation from Zach's truck to mine.
Awesome! Thanks Zach!

Well Alex, you're the man---whadda ya say to creating a new spot in the forum "Zach n' Twin's Place"?

:thumbs:

You know, these long distance relationships are tough. All I'm going to say about that.

As far as the Russian Warhead button, it does exist. Obviously you haven't run with Serge or seen Hamster up close and personal.

You mean I coulda killt myself or started a war??!!

This thread got off a different direction than I'd anticipated--I was initially airing out my gripe about the far back window not rolling down. Obviously HUMMER had the technology as they used it in the SUT's, I don't think it would have been that hard to do the same with the SUV's. I started wondering about this way back when I had the 3 and it resurfaces every once in awhile.
Back in the few days when we had Mr. Richards attention to ask questions, this is one I'd like to know about. It couldn't be a cost cutting measure, obviously brand new H2 buyers weren't obsessed with cost.
Also, maybe I've been driving my mini-van too much, but as a consolation to not getting a movable back window, I have to wonder why 2's n' 3's didn't get powered opening side windows--that's another awesome way to get some air inside the truck.

Alex, I would whole-heartedly support Twin's idea...but would suggest calling it "Twin n' Zach's Place"...just sayin... but why does Zack always get to go first? :giggle:

 

[HUMMERDAD]

Wow what did I get mysdelf into intresting to say the least

 

[Bigunit]

Sorry, my post above didn't come out the way I meant it...so it's been reworded. After I re-read it, I realized that it as wrong...way wrong - so it's been sanatized! :emb:

 

[twinmill28]

You're damn right that was way wrong.





Zach doesn't always get to be on top......





Whoooa----this is getting really gay, maybe sanitizing WAS a good thing :emb:

From what I can tell, I think the bushing from a 05 would work. Can get the part number tomorrow. Forgot the number of the top of my head.
