That small small window

Hi, just got myself an 09 AWD Matrix.

Does anyone know if they can change out that small window on both sides of the rear window?

That small small window

thanks for replying...

That small window on each side of the rear window looks like a good size from the outside. however, once your sitting inside the matrix 09, and you look back, you only see this really tiny window...

And you would change it out for what?

Cut the C-pillar, and make it bigger?
Fill it in and make side lights?

has anyone had problems with this window? both actually?

i just noticed that they are both slightly cracked, closest to the trunk door. i guess whenever i close the trunk (or slam it), the trunk door makes contact with the glass and it is starting to chip off.

....another +1 for this car

I Just wish they had kept the windows from the 08, it was a nice size and it did not have this problem. do you think they can fix it under warranty repair?

you could paint them body color, or black them out with vinyl or tint.
