Those wing windows with the pivot lever latches were a problem for the VWs that had them because they were easy to open from the outside with a coat hanger. They were great if you had locked your keys in the car, but they also made it easy for the bad guys to get it.

Does that mean you actually lock your doors? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I don't lock mine ever. I figure if a thief wants it, locked door wont stop them. I don't leave valuables in the car. Leaving the doors unlocked may prevent additional damage to the car.

Back to the first topic. It gets 90°-100°+ here in the summer. I leave the top on and the windows down and I get plenty of air flow in the car. In fact, I almost never take my top off...
