Rear window graphics?
Anyone have any experience with rear window graphics? Glasscapes, Clearvue, Window Canvas, Window banner, Looking glass, etc.?
The idea seems cool, but I don't see alot of this around anymore. I'm curious if it is because people think it is stupid, laws against it, not durable, etc.
I didn't find any posts anywhere on the site. Seems like there may be no interest in the product.
Any thoughts?

I think they look great! Obviously, depends on the choice of graphics but great way to add some individual character to your truck. I don't have one on my current truck but had one on my F150 - loved it! No problems with durability.

Had one on the rear window for added privacy. A couple of things you should be aware of -
1) Lighter colored designs will add more privacy because they will reflect more light, the darker the design colors, the easier it is to see through the design and into the cab
and
the most important thing
2)
you cannot see out of the window when it is wet - the holes in the graphics trap water and inhibit vision through the graphics - the graphics come with a warning that "
you should carry a towel with you at all times to dry the window before vehicle operation and to never operate the vehicle with a wet window ".
All that being said, just use your side mirrors when it rains. I never had a durability problem other than the local toyota dealer scratching something across it while the vehicle was being serviced.

Great tip on the wet window. Never would have thought of that.
My windows are already tinted pretty dark and I'm not too worried about privacy. In fact it might be nice if the knuckleheads behind me could see some of my hand signlas on occasion
I have a new Indigo Ink Pearl Tacoma. I thought a nice Snowy wolf scene would be nice. Blue and white snow scenes would go well with dark blue truck, and wolves have always had a personal meaning for me.
