Title: Rear Windows?
Post by Mummra on May 3^rd, 2006, 9:29am

Hi this may seem a silly question, but I have just noticed that the rear windows on my estate only go about 3/4 of the way down. Can anybody tell me is this normal? Or is this another in an ever growing list of niggley little problems.

Thanks
Dave

So do lots of cars. Check out the shape of the door. The wheel arch is in the way.

Same here, nothing to worry about. Bit of a pain tho.

Thanks for the replies, it is a bit of a pain, but at least I shan't be spending the weekend stripping the back doors apart.

Cheers
Dave

Never noticed really, as it's only me in the car 99% of the time, and I can't abide driving with the rear windows open anyway, gives me serious earache ???

They call it a safety feature for kids in the back. Think the shape of the rear doors kinda forced their hand though!

yep it is a child / dog safety feature
to try to stop them jumping out years ago

before rear seat belts were added for passengers
