Hey Scion peeps.

I'm back again bringing an idea I'm playing around with to you for thoughts/comments.

I recall seeing this before, but can't seem to hunt it down online. I think it was a gold tC, but anyways, I'm wondering about making the rear side windows of the tC motorized like the front ones. Of course you still would have the b pillar all in tact. Although deleting it and getting that clean Mercedes look from A to C pillar would be great, but then it's just too much trouble having to clean everything up and deal with structural integrity.

So, just would like to hear your comments and offer your help. I think it's a cool idea, but if it's just too much work, then I'll let it go.

 

motorized how...like rolling down like the fronts or kinda flipping out like a minivan rear windows?

 

I think he's thinking of something along the lines of what bmw and merc have had in the past where the coupe windows are stretch basiaclly the rear window would fold down when the front window goes down and come back up if you put the front window back up. You'd have to remove the pillar for the door frame, which would be a nightmare. Cool thought no bueno

 

pop outs would be cool too

 

like on vans/older suburbans/ dodge trucks from late 90s

 

The weather stripping and the glass in the rear are all one piece; this means you would need to fab new weather stripping, find new glass, open the body, and find a mini window motor assembly. It would be cool indeed but too big a task, if you could go about fitting the tc2 bumper and maybe lights to a tc1 I would love you long time

 

I think it would be cool as hell. Even if they were two seperate windows with the b-pillar still in tact. I mean we have rear reclining seats a rear sunroof why not be able to roll the windows down in the rear as well!!! Im all for this!

 

i think the pop out window would be a sick idea like the older 3 series and what not..

 

x2

 

That would be cool too.... wonder how much work it would be to do that? Could we just get the hinges and popper from another window and mount? I know my wifes navigator has rear windows that do that but they are electric to0

 

I could soo do that easily! And don't think it hasn't already crossed my mind. Would be a good way to get a new look in the front and eliminate the license plate holes once and for all. Of course, that upper grill emblem which is molded into the bumper has gotta go. I had thought of keeping the tC1 top half (mounting brackets, upper grill, etc.) and splicing it with the tC2 lower half.

That's what I actually was wanting, two separate windows with the b-pillar in tact. Hix said it, it's just the weather molding, fabed window, and a motor. Care to assist in this endevor?

Also, hit me up a PM, needs to talk about the spoiler idea.

A pop-out would be really easy actually. You'd just have to reinforce the seal around the glass on the inside. Other than that, it's just installing the hinges and the bracket and you're golden.

 

Any new ideas? And anyone know of shops that have pulled this off before?

 

Do the bumper swap first

 

Aurora, you crazy

watchin thiss

 

You know it!

But you also know my crazy a$$ can pull it off.

 

Need a donor bumper, hehe.

Also, need a donor garnish and tbl. I got an itch to make a garnish mold.

 

I have a garnish and tbl since Im deleting mine

 

i'd like to get my rear window pop out like the bmw's... a lot easier and cheaper than having them motorized. dont get me wrong, it would look/be dope but not something i would want... make them pop out better! also do the new face lift!

 

Yeah, pop-out sounds cool. I mean, it's something different and cool looking. LOL, motorize the pop-out!!!!
Oh, and I'm at the dealership now (love the free wifi) and I'm looking at the new tC vs. Mine and a facelift looks pretty cecent. I'll loose my Adui DRL/Fog's.

You willing to donate?
