    Are there any Disadvantages to Rear Pop Out Windows?

    I have some rear pop out windows from my parts car that I was thinking of installing in my car. Just wondering if there are any disadvantages to these?

    None that I can think of. Unless you leave them open in a rain storm. Ask me how I know...

        Besides for the fact that they're ugly? Rear passengers pop them out then leave them open and you have to climb into the back seat to shut them again.

            How are they ugly? The only difference in looks is the little black opener which is barely noticeable..:roll:

              When they're open they're ugly. Personal opinion so everyone should be agreeing with me.

                Nope

                They may be ugly. But if your A/C doesn't work. You'll overlook that minor issue

                  They are great when in the backseat on those hot days. BTW, it's interesting to see people hate on such a minor detail. If you don't like pop outs, don't use them. I wasn't too crazy about the big rubber gasket on fixed windows either but it's a non issue.

                    This! That was so annoying. This is why I now has 4door. Oh yeah and did anyone mention they're ugly.

                      You can just push in the opener from the outside and close it...

                        fwiw - I always got a kick out of 3/4 shots of cars with the pop out open..

                        if the angle is just right - you can pretend it's a touring.

                          Whoever says they are ugly is fucking retarded. They look fucking sweet open.

                            Those who say they are ugly, usually dont have them. They are awesome open on the highway with all the front windows down and the sunroof open. There isn't a wind vortex in the backseat, and YOUR bitch's hair doesn't fly around as much. Ask me how I know ;)
