Rear window

[Dkchoper1]

I looked at a buddy’s rear window on his ADV2 Northstar and it appears there is no metal frame around the window and it flexes a lot to the point the window could break. I have this same window coming on the ADV5 Northstar. Has anyone seen this? Will this be a problem down the road? Thanks!

I noticed the exact same thing on mine, first time I went to close the glass it flexed and I said Whooo! That's going to break. I am careful to close from the two sides over the struts until I see or come up with a solution.

There is a frame on my ADV5 Northstar?!!

I added a handle into bottom middle of the rear window and that eliminated the window flexing and I had much better control when opening and closing the rear window. You have hundreds of handle options on amazon. Just make sure there are using the 3M automotive adhesive tape.
