I like to car camp and am actually a fan of the flip up window for those rainy days. But like hell am I getting outside to open it in the rain. Can a button be installed inside?

On a related note, are there struts that will hold their position rather than always opening fully? Ergo hold the window ajar
 
I don't think so, but if you close it lightly, it won't latch. As for your second question, you could probably just stick a small spacer on the window sill so it stays open a crack.

Search the FJ cruiser forums. They had the same challenges with the rear window.
 
Not sure how well it worked but when I had my FJ there was a company that made a kit that replaced the side {port hole} windows. For the life of me I can't remember the name. It was a complete kit that had a pop out latch pretty cool not sure if it worked well or not.
