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 window :lol:

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

Just my 2 cents,

I've done it using a different rail system and honestly, it's not worth the schlep.

Just my 2 cents,
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...
