I recall the owners manual saying not to do that because of fumes coming in when driving at certain speeds. I think it said to have other windows open if the back is open.

I do it for my dog sometimes but I go real slow. I tried doing it on the highway once when transporting a sup board and a couple times I hit the brakes I could hear the window jerking but everything was fine

I remember someone posting that their rear window shattered while open.
I suppose it depends on road conditions, driving speed, the wind, etc.
You're adding unusual torque and vibration to the glass at the hinges.
