Any reason why the back windows on the Terra have a divider line? It seems odd given the door is square and can fit the full size of the glass (unlike the traveler of course).

Most likely a cost cutting thing. Since having a smaller window means less motor that is needed so less money. And that small piece of glass is probably less than producing a larger window means and getting a torquier window motor.

I think the back section is solid but black to look more like the glass than the frame. They might be using the extra space in the frame for something like side airbags, seat belts, or vents.
