rear windows

Vehicle's back glass

Rear windows are the windows at the back of a vehicle, as opposed to the front windshield or side windows.

The term usually refers to cars, where the rear window provides visibility behind the driver: I couldn't see through the rear window because of the fog.

In architecture, a rear window faces the back of a building rather than the street.
