Has anyone ever put these types of windows on the 914? I am guessing that they planned for them, but pulled them due to costs. Anyone ever retro fit them? |

I've always liked vent windows. Are these custom made?, plastic?, bug windows? or from some other vehicle that just fits?

That's actually a Jetta I door.
I like vent windows too, that's why I thought I'd ask. |

Nice idea--I'd like to see the results. Will probably take some fabrication skills that are beyond me . . . .
Without a forward part of the vent window frame on the 914 door, it might be tough finding somewhere to mount the upper "hinge" for the vent window. |

I also liked vent windows. Then, after they disappeared, I had a couple of cars with rear vent windows (the rear hinged out) (Datsun 510 2-door and Mazda 626 coupe) that provided good ventilation (as well as wind noise (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ). Now that everything has A/C vent windows have basically become history.

Vent windows were nice. But A/C did them in.... Here's another Idea for the location that I had and wonder if anyone's tried is to add another cars electric mirrors. Some cars have that space filled with a mount for electric mirrors. We have a Sebring convertable they are almost the right size and I sure like the shape. I've thought about replacing the glass with something like that since I run A/C anyway.
