Re: full window mod
I agree with you 100%, bit of a shlep on hot days, used to stick my hand out the window trying to make a scoop to flow cool air into the cabin, but nowadays you get fined for sticking even your elbow out the windowvader wrote:Im not saying it doesnt look cool cause it does.
What Im saying is that it doesnt cool the cabin as well 1/4 vents...
TieFighter has single windows..

I must admitt I miss the 1/4's on hot days, but sometimes looking "cool" is more important than getting "cool"

Just my 2 cents,

Re: full window mod
I've done it using a different rail system and honestly, it's not worth the schlep.

Untill you get out of the car looking like a drowned rat and feeling like a greasy drumstick. Normally just when a hot seatcover walks past and there you are trying to look mucho but all she sees is a sweaty redneck...Bratjie wrote:I agree with you 100%, bit of a shlep on hot days, used to stick my hand out the window trying to make a scoop to flow cool air into the cabin, but nowadays you get fined for sticking even your elbow out the windowvader wrote:Im not saying it doesnt look cool cause it does.
