Excuse my ignorance, but why is there an issue with visibility?

The Jimny has bigger mirrors than most vans, and is lovely easy to park little box of fun. It's like wearing a large jacket :-)

I don't see the need to see out of the rear windows personally. Tempted to get the rear windows all vinyled the same colour as the car.

There's no issue with lack of a rear window, most of us will have driven vans built this way. If you want to black out the rear of the car to keep valuable tools out of sight (for example) then it's probably a good idea. If it's just a styling exercise it may not be. At least vinyl quickly peels off if you change your mind. Chris

Reversing out of car parking spaces is a pain simply because most people assume that my opaque windows are actually transparent because they don't expect a Jimny to be a van, it doesn't look like a transit or whatever. Also oblique junctions where the traffic is coming from the near side are not much fun either. First world problem obviously.
