    yes i will say that the car doesnt look to hot when they are popped out but sometimes its nice to have them open when its 100 degrees.

    If you ripped out your AC and you're doing a road trip when it's 90-95 degrees, they make a big difference.

      Yeah, but driving a e30 with the rear windows poped out makes you look like a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles. Tends to make the car look gay too
      That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all day!
      I don't like them for the simple fact that you almost have to climb into the back seat to open them, and one of mine makes a whistling noise. :evil:

        Agreed.

        Experience tells me the same.

        Don't care if they look fucked up - they're functional when it's hotter than hell outside.

          Not sure if I am going to give it a try or not. Got a few other things to work on before I go and try anything else. I might take you up on your offer to swap windows Eurospeed.

            I'm with Jordan on this one. I hate mine and I don't let anyone open them.

              Boy I feel better now. And to think I had pop-out window envy. Sheesh. What was I thinking?

                      They are, I tried to use mine a couple of weeks ago in my 87 and didn't like them one bit. They were loud.

                          Either way, I have the AC in my car for a reason, I realized I live in Hawaii and no a/c is a bad idea :P

                              I'm glad I have them in my 88, I'll use them a lot this summer.

                              Sure, they may not look nice, but they'll make it nice so that old air leaves the car and new air comes in - in side windows, out back windows. It's simple.

                                Gotta hate it when stuborn passengers in the back seat open them. Then wont close them. I've found at about 90-95 MPH the wind force is great enough to slam them shut. Now that is LOUD.
