When I was at Chevy the other day picking up a gas filter I picked up a
2008 Impala cataloge. When I looked at it at home it appears that there
are no power window switches on the rear door panels.

On the driverside front door panel the switch plate is mounted within a
graphite colored plate just ahead of the finger pull cup in the armrest.

Just a head of the finger pull cup on the rear door is a black triangle
pattern where the switch might be - but it isn't.

hmmmmm.

I saw a 2008 in a parking lot today. The window switches for the back
doors are on the door panel, high up, where the door handle is. The door
lock buttons are old school push-pull style on the top rear corners of
the door panels.

The front doors window switches are mounted on the front part of the
armrest.

This is the new breed of engineering.

Yeah.
I figured they left them off like gm trunks without key locks.
If your battery or wire goes dead the trunk don't open.
I believe I would drill a hole in the trunk and attach
a coathanger.

BTW, I have been renting Fords lately.
I think they are ugly but are the most comfortable cars I
have driven. I'll have to rent an Impala soon.

Most of the Impalas have the fold down rear seat and you could get into the
trunk that way.
