Most of people in the county I work in call the trunk the boot. It’s odd since I live in the next county over and never hear that term.

A guy walks into an auto parts store and says "I need the clips for my back glass, rear windshield, rear window, back light." Counter guy looking confused "So what do you want the clips for? Those parts all have different part numbers..." Customer "Do you have any in stock I can look at?" Counter guy "No, I only show I have clips available for the rear windscreen." Customer "OH! OK. I'll take those." Counter guy "Can't sell them to you, they probably won't fit." Customer "I'll take the chance." Counter guy "I'll have to get my manager's approval!" as he walks away commenting to the other counter guy on the stupid customer that doesn't have a clue what he wants. ordering parts is so complicated these days.

What annoys me even more so is that now ANYTHING and EVERYTHING with 4 wheels is simply called 'a car'. Truck, van, bus, RV, etc, etc are all cars now.
It never really bugged me until someone sent me searching for a car, when it actually was a truck.
Around these parts, they call it a veHICKle.

Rear window...gotta love it when non car people try to do car things themselves.... You mean like when someone calls it a rear window instead of using the correct nomenclature? Many parts of a vehicle have been called by differing names. Some have been used by different manufacturers contributing to the confusion of what is proper. In short, while even the industry standards aren't always adhered to by all manufacturers, some incorrect terms become common place.

It’s called a rear window around these parts.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

Well, on a Dodge or Ram truck with one that can be opened it's called a sliding rear window, whether it's manual or powered. When it was on the window sticker (Monroney Label) they call it a sliding rear window. They don't call it a sliding rear Backlite.

I suppose I could call the rear window a windshield if I had a tailwind greater than my momentum? Other than that, it's rear window. There is only one windshield in most cars made today, it is in the front facing forward.

Everyone that I know outside of the auto industry calls it the back or rear window or glass. At the assembly plant that I worked in it was always referred to as the back light. Never window or glass and definitely not rear windshield.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

There is only one windshield in most cars made today, it is in the front facing forward. If you are going backwards fast enough to need a rear windshield then you are probably doing something wrong.
