trundle Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Quick dumb question for you. Is there a way to open the rear window from the driver's seat in the 1998 as you could in the 1995's? I was looking at a 1998 XE and could not find the button. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trundle Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 So the only way to open the window is from the back with the key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Yep, and on mine it locks all the other doors when you unlock the window! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trundle Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 I new the 95's had locking issues like that, got locked out 30 miles from home in a blizzard with the truck running and had to catch a ride home to get the key and get back before it ran out of gas, but I did not think the newer ones had issues. Theres got to be a way to set something up, even if its manual, maybe that will be a god project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Yep, and on mine it locks all the other doors when you unlock the window! :o on my 95, it just locks the hatch when I unlock the window and won't let me open the window when the hatch is open. but... if you open the window first, you can unlock and open the hatch.

I was looking at a 1998 XE and could not find the button. Thank you. I do believe I read about people installing solenoids to do this... (and also to open the hatch from the drivers seat) try a quick search maybe?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trundle Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 well either way, im probably going to pick up a 98 with 83,000 miles, XE, auto, LSD sooner rather than later, Im taking it over to a shop today to get it looked at, When test driving it, it had a strange sound from the front when turning only, so I will see what they say about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianPathyNut Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 i installed a trunk release solenoid and put the button up near the drivers seat then I hot wired it so I could open the rear window with the car on or off, wuite an easy install to be honest with you!

02silverpathy Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Yeah maybe a swaybar end link. Me thinks that the solenoid to pop the galss would be too cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any pics of your solenoid install? I have a trunk release solenoid from a maxima just sitting around, and I might wanna try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yowzaeric Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 While mine is newer- '04, I have a switch opener next to the gas filler switch on the drivers door. it's a pull type latch. They appear to be a one piece unit. I bet you could retro fit something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
