Default Rolling / removeable rear window

Has anybody made there rear window in the lift gate able to roll down or easily removable.
Id like to get some extra airflow back there for my dog, but still be able to keep it outside during the rain and such.

That sounds awesome but also sounds like a ridiculously difficult task

Complete speculation here, but there may be an issue with exhaust fumes coming into the vehicle because that area is a low pressure zone when traveling at speed.

Not really any different from other SUVs that have them......kick the exhaust out the side instead of out the back.....

I think it would be better to make the rear side windows pop open about 2 inches in the back to let air out . there are a lot of suv's and mini vans that have that set up .
