On my fob it is a blue botton that opens the rear glass and pops up

This is the fob for my 07. As you can see there is a glass release button. I'd check your owners manual for my info on your particular year

On the remote start 2017 Limited, there isn't a button to pop the rear glass you have to push the button on the liftgate under the "N".

Still nice to have the fob, I have that button underneath on the back too but if I’m carrying something awkwardly it’s easier to hit the fob

True but with motorized liftgate, I hit that button and open the back.
Wth???
You telling me my $4600 SSV has a feature they decided was too good for y'all riding around in your $70k '17s????
Huh.... why they change it around so many times??? '09 SSV, fugly but functional, single button but controls both glass and liftgate....
Personally I'd be pissed, I hate using the liftgate stuff often tumbles out.... prefer to use glass only unless absolutely necessary

That's what happened with my 2003 Expedition. The original fob could unlatch the rear window but the Ford remote start fob can not do that. That became important when the liftgate window button on the liftgate stopped working. I had to put one of the original stock (not remote start) fobs in the glove box in case I ever need to do that. Its now the ONLY way I can unlatch that window.
I now have numerous workarounds on that vehicle due to problems.

You can unlatch the glass window from the buttons on the outside of the driver's door. I do it accidentally all the time and then wonder why I get the "rear liftgate window open" message on the dash.

I actually never use it. I have an aftermarket remote start/locks/alarm and trunk release so its been sitting in the cup holder of my work truck for like 2 years

I could not find a button sequence for the the 17 to unlock the liftgate window.
Thanks, Andy.

To open (unlatch) the rear glass from the outside keypad in the drivers door
[x][x][x][x][x] 6
Your door code followed by the number 5/6 button. I have a 5 digit door code. Not sure if these are defaults. My code only unlocks the driver's door.
Code = drivers door. Followed by:
3/4 = oven all other doors
5/6 = unlatch rear window
7/8 + 9/10 locks everything. But the rear window is still unlatched unless you manually close it.
