Power Rear Window, Possible? Options

[Buckeye '73]

So there's this lady in the same building as me right.

And she's one of these "the would bows to me types". She's got a 350Z and yesterday (because it was nice and we both had topless convertables in the parking lot) we start talking about convertables. Turns out that her cars better than mine because it's aerodynamically designed to keep the air off of her. (Which isn't suprising because everything she has is better than everyone elses....

Meanwhile, the back of my neck still has frostbite on it and I get to thinking. What if I could retract the rear window? Viola no more deflected air!

Anybody ever tried it?

Theoritically possible?

Besides, if you adjust the side window down a little, the wind doesn't go down the back of your neck.  ;)

When it's cool or cold and I drive without the roof and the door glass completely up, I noticed that you can reduce the buffeting if you lower the window an inch or two. It's as if this allows some air to curl around the rear glass and fill the cockpit. But this only works on one side. For example, you lower the drivers side window a bit and the tubulence drops for the driver, but the wind beats the passenger. Lower both side windows and you both get beat. Leave the driver side glass up and lower the passenger side and the passenger gets less buffeting, but the driver gets more. So I only do this when I'm driving alone.

How much does driver height or seating height affect the buffeting situation? I figure the lower you sit the less buffeting you should get. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
