Default Lowering hatch window

Has anyone ever found a way to put in a rear hatch window that lowers? Has that ever been an option on a cherokee?

It would not be an easy thing to do, there's a lot in the way of the window just being able to roll down, at least in mine. The hatch was never designed for that.
I would love it if my rear window would roll down, but I can't come up with a really good way to fab something for the fiberglass hatch, I think it would be easier to make something work if the hatch was steel. Ideally I'd like something like my K5 had, where the window rolled down, then the tailgate let down like a pickup truck.

I would love it if mine went down. When I was looking at cars before I got my jeep I test drove a Bronco and it's rear window rolled down, it was so nice. Of course I would take my XJ over it any day. haha.
