Even if they would go down, due to the shape of the door and the dog leg on the front of the 1/4 panel, the window can only go down about 8 inches.

well i would still like to do it. its just a one-off type thing. it just bugs me that it wasnt a option. i have no problem with anything else on the car, even tho its a 4 door, except the back windows. so even if it does roll down only 8 in, what do i gotta do to accomplish this task?

X2, there are no kits available to make them go down.

8 inches is generous, I doubt they'd be able to go down more than 4 or 5 inches.

There is also no inner door structure to mount a window regulator to.

Time to fix your A/C...

Then I would suggest getting some extra front doors from a donor car and seeing what you can adapt. Bear in mind that not only do your rear doors have any sort of track mechanisms, there is probably no provisions in the glass itself to mount anything to it. You'll probably have trouble with the seals too, as the ones currently on the car are for fixed glass, not movable.

Best of luck.

G-sedans had optional Power rear vent windows, since the rear door windows were fixed. Considering the huge amount of engineering to fit operable rear windows in a vehicle that was never set up for anything but fixed glass, I'd fit the power vents for a little bit of "wow" factor.
