Fixed Factory Widow Vs. Breezer Window - Why A Breezer Upgrade Is Worth It

Fixed Factory Widow Vs. Breezer Window - Why A Breezer Upgrade Is Worth It

Whether you use your vehicle for work or pleasure, it’s an extension of your personality. Upgrading it is all about making it look how you want and getting the most out of its features.

The Breezer Window offers something the aftermarket glass industry rarely sees - a removable, fully-removable rear window system that opens your cab with ease. With a Breezer system you're getting a level of versatility that a standard factory window just can't match. This becomes a big advantage for those with trucks that have a solid, one-piece rear window from the factory.

Why Install a Breezer Window?

There are still many truck models out there that come off the production line with a solid rear window. Some base model buyers and those that buy for fleet-specific applications may actually seek this out for the cost savings. For other models, it's just the way they're designed!

Choosing a Breezer Window literally opens up your options. Unlike traditional fixed or sliding glass windows, the Breezer is a fully removable system, allowing you to bridge the gap between your cab and your truck bed instantly.

The patented latch system includes a secure lock that is easily operated and removed from the safety of the interior. It's also a great solution for those who don't have a rear slider or have a solid rear window from the factory. Upgrading to a Breezer offers:

  • Climate Comfort: Natural airflow significantly reduces the need for constant AC and minimizes wind buffeting.
  • Loading Logistics: Easily slide long building materials or gear through the cab.
  • Camping Convenience: Creates a seamless pass-through for those using truck toppers or bed campers.
  • Pet and Passenger Friendly: Provides a safe way for pets to feel included and a quick exit/entry point for people.
  • Security: The patented latch system ensures the window is locked tight when in place.

Is there a downside to upgrading to a Breezer Window?

When compared to a fixed window with no option for entry at all, there's really no downside! We do often get asked about weatherproofing, but Breezer is installed exactly like a factory window, and you get a lifetime warranty against leakage.

What about storage of the removable window? The tempered safety glass can be easily stored against the cab wall, and you can use our handy Window Case to protect it while not in use.

The Case for a Fixed Factory Rear Window

We get it - many owners are hesitant to move away from their factory glass. Aside from the couple of concerns mentioned above, you might wonder about:

  • Losing the OE Look: Factory purists sometimes prefer the Original Equipment appearance. However, we offer three different styles to match the aesthetic of almost any truck. You can even paint the Breezer frame to match your paint if desired.
  • Simplicity: A fixed window means no moving parts, so there is nothing to manage, remove, lose or damage. While this is true, it's a risk-reward anyone who's ever had to dangle a long load off their tailgate (hoping the red flag stays put) would likely say is well worth it.

There's no doubt that a fixed factory glass window compromises the functionality of your truck bed. In addition to that, a fixed factory window offers:

  • Zero Ventilation: Without a slider or removable panel, your cab can become a hot box of stagnant air.
  • No Bed Access: You are completely cut off from your gear while inside the truck.
  • Susceptibility to Damage: Fixed glass can be a permanent target - especially if you take your truck, Jeep or SUV on the trails or into the woods often. Unlike the Breezer, you can’t simply remove a factory solid rear window to protect it from trail debris.

Add Style and Functionality to Your Truck With Breezer

Long story short, the Breezer Window gives you options that fixed windows don't. Our clients often tell us their Breezer Window has been a lifesaver in ways they least expected: hauling something unusual, grabbing the pets from the truck bed or camper on the fly, airing out the cab for any number of reasons, and many more!
