Rear side window Popouts
#12
Hmmm. I've thought of pop-outs too. I had a Superbeetle for a long time that didn't have them. VW thought the flow through air system would be adequate. Big Laugh. With the windows down at highway speeds you could get pretty good air oscillation in the car. In the dubs I had with the pop-outs, no oscillation. I think they would be cool on a box. If they could be wired to open & close electrically, mmmmmm!
Cheers,

Pop out sides is possible to get the rear glass to open involves remaking the hatch.
I already know how to do it but no time or money for the side windows to pop out.
Another idea I will end up letting someone to beat me to it.

The easy way to get pop out side windows is to get the hinges and locks from an early 90's voyager or caravan.They have all the nessary hardware.And you can get a good shop to drill the holes in the glass.
Only problem I found was you either have to legnthen the wires for your antenna ( they are on the rear side windows) to allow them to move, or drill a hole to mount the antenna externally.
giving the wires more lenth was the easy way to go.
And metro, the hinges are a solution to getting the window glass to dothe same, just mounting the hinge at the top and the locks at the bottom.

I actually thought of making mine, both sides and hatch, roll down. YOu could use the parts from any old car with power windows for the sides, and parts from an old Bronco for the hatch. BUt now I have the Carrozzeria's, so the sides are out of the question.
