Can you resize for the rear slider window, hanging down?

I don't see why not. I'll grab a couple measurements tomorrow off my truck. It may work out I can use the same rectangle I cut out for the sides.
So I went out and measured my rear slider window. I got approx. 12" tall X 13" wide. The absolute max my cutter can do is 11.5" one way.

This leaves two options if you want the stars on top and stripes running down:

#1. 1 piece decal with full width stars across the top of the slider with the stripes running down - there will be approx. 1/4" gap on the top & bottom of the slider glass where the decal wouldn't fully reach. Probably wouldn't look all that bad since the matte black is very subtle against the glass especially if it has the factory tint.

#2. Spliced 2 piece decal. The stars would be full width across the top and the stripes would be a separate piece completely. This would require lining up the two decals with precision and you still may see a line in the decal where the stripes & stars would meet up. But, you wouldn't have the 1/4" gap on the top & bottom of the glass.

If I were doing this to my truck, I would go with option #1. You won't notice the slight gaps at the top & bottom nearly as much as you would the cut line between the stars & stripes. Add in that you have to be extremely precise with how both decals are placed. If you are still interested in this, let me know and I can do a mock up in my computer system to see how it would end up. I may even be able to precut a notch in the driver side of the decal for the exterior plastic cover where the slider handle is.
