Default Rear Hatch question

Did they ever make a rear hatch for the 96 xj body style that you could just open the glass and / or the whole thing? I had an exploder before my xj and that part of it was kinda nice when I had my rack on the receiver hitch loaded with stuff or deer. It was built high for ground clearance but when loaded I dont think I'll be able to open the hatch.

These XJs have been around and so heavily modded, I think if it could be done while still being cost effective and not too labor intensive - it would have been done by now.
