Screen or hood for Sliding Rear Window to keep out rain?

A small rear vent visor (like from a supercab window) may work. Thinking about it, I may have a couple.

Wrote this without benefit of looking at a Maverick. A frame and just one magnet at the bottom should work attached to the metal below the window. Alternately a couple of suction cups on the window could be an option.

I’m going to use 2 magnet strips from Harbor Freight with a framed piece of screen sandwiched between when my Maverick (eventually) arrives.

I buy these magnetic strips when they go on sale for $2.99. Great for organizing sets of sockets, screwdrivers, and other small metal tools.

You realize those are the same ones that Harbor Freight used to give away all the time....I have like a dozen or two in my shed. Now those days are over and they want to charge for the batteries, hand led light, magnets, etc. The days of a freebee from them is once in a great while now.

I was cruising around with it open today even though the temperature was in the low 90’s!

I love the open rear window and the moonroof tilted! I drive like this 90% of the time, even when it’s raining. Brings back memories of my Chevy Camaro convertible days

Same here!! I leave the rear slider open most of the time! The sunroof and power rear slider window were must haves for us!!

With my Maverick, the truck bed is clean, I have the sunroof tilted up and the sliding back window open for air circulation. The temperature, combined with humidity, needs to be high for me to turn on the AC and close them, maybe couple of times in the summer.

I do close both the sunroof and the sliding back window for the night, or if it suppose to rain during the day. For 18 year on my Avalon, I used to leave the sunroof tilted up during the summer and never had an issue with doing. Until my vacation in August, where the driver side got drenched and it took some time to get rid of the musky smell in the car. There's no way I take chances with leaving the Maverick, and now the Avalon sunroof open. It's powered for god's sake...

Love to find one of these stick-on types.
Put one on my ‘92 Toyota when I first bought her. Stayed on for 30 years.
