A system and method for efficiently removing rain water and the like from a rear window (backlite) of a vehicle. A rear spoiler or air deflector is provided for redirecting air toward the backlite and causing the speed of air flow to increase. A hydrophobic coating is provided on the major exterior surface of the backlite. Air directed by the air deflector over and/or across the surface of the backlite functions to remove the rain water and the like from the backlite. In certain embodiments, the hydrophobic coating may include diamond-like carbon (DLC) deposited on the substrate in a manner to increase its hydrophobicity.

A window structure is provided which may be used as a rear window in a pick-up truck or the like. In certain example embodiments, the window structure includes a slidable window panel or sheet located between a pair of fixed window panels or sheets. The slidable window panel may be approximately flush with the fixed panels when in the closed position, but not in the opened position. In certain example embodiments, the movable window sheet or panel may be opened by a user actuating a latch assembly which allows one or more spring loaded pins to be moved from a locked to an unlocked position(s). When the spring loaded pins move into an unlocked position as the latch assembly is actuated, the movable window panel can be moved slightly toward the vehicle interior and then slid laterally in respective tracks in order to open the same.

A method for vehicle diagnostics includes receiving vehicle information from a vehicle computer system and identifying, at the data processing hardware, at least one vehicle module from the vehicle information. The at least one vehicle module represents a detected fault of the vehicle computer system. The method also includes executing a diagnostic program configured to display on a display screen a graphical user interface having a fault topography window associated with at least one detected fault of the at least one vehicle module. The fault topography window has a vehicle information panel and a fault topography view panel. The diagnostic program is configured to receive a detected fault selection input of the at least one detected fault of the at least one vehicle module and display a fault topography view of the at least one detected fault of the at least one vehicle module.
