I drove around the block once with the rear window out of the car.
Once. That was more than enough. The shape of the firewall does not lend itself to a roll-down window. You would have to flatten out enough of the firewall to make a space for the window, which would either cut into the inlet for cooling air, or into the seat travel. A new backpad would be needed, of course. At a guess, you'd probably wind up losing at least 6" of seat travel, which would be quite uncomfortable for most of us. Add that to the very dubious benefits of having a REALLY LOUD engine right behind your head with zero sound insulation. No, not worth it at all. --DD |
