Windows

Well I graduated high school today and since it was hot as balls today, i opened the windows with the remote. Did yall notice that the back windows dont go all the way down? I thought they just open part way because of the remote, but i was wrong. Weird.

Yep...they might not be able to go down all the way because of not enough room inside the door for the window

It's the design of the door that prevents them from going all the way down.

flame on me if I am wrong, but i think the ONLY reason windows dont go down is becuase of the door (i.e. not enough room to hold the window) not child safety.

I do rememeber being in one car that had a switch inside the rear door. Not sure if that switch controlled whether or not the door could be unlocked from the inside or whether it allowed the window to go all the way down?

I do remember hearing that half way windows were for child safety, but that may have been a rumour?

I could be wrong too, I had always heard that was a safety feature. It could be not enough room though. The TSX does have really high angled rear doors though.

huh...its a car mystery. i think the switches are for the child saftey locks, so you cant opent the car from the inside, which i think is a very good idea!

It's easy. Look at the shape of the window. Then look at the shape of the door below it. Imagine the window going down into the door. In most cars, there's just not enough space. It's a physical limitation, not a safety thing.

The ones that go halfway down are done so by a blocker a saftey feature... however our windows I believe just go down as far as they can..

Here, i did it in photoshop.. and with the reinforcments in the door there is no way it could go down all the way as you can see in my illustration below..
