When it’s a dark, summer night, and you’re cruising around town, bass thumping, head bumping, rocking out in the backseat, let me ask you something: what feels nicer than slipping your hand out the window and letting that cool breeze wash right over you?
If you said not much, baby, then you got it.
Listen up, Auto Industry — to get our summer groove on, we need those backseat windows to drop down all the way. None of this half-way, quarter-way, all-the-way-but-an-inch business. We won’t have it. We The People need that non-stop, all-drop window. Window makers, you heard it here first: stop stopping, start dropping.
Because there’s nothing quite as frustrating as a window that stops short. Have you ever tried to dangle your arm out a stopped short window? Welcome to a world of cut-off circulation and cold, blue hands.
Also, think of the poor children. The poor nauseous, carsick children sitting in the backseat on a swervy freeway. A world of car windows that don’t drop the full drop is a world of hot, splattery, autumn-colored doors. I know it’s not pretty, but you know it’s the truth.
Backseat car windows that go down all the way make life a little bit sweeter. They blast us with wind, let us rock out with our elbows out like the front seat crew, and give our spinning stomachs the occasional sweet relief it needs without messing up the ride.
So let’s ask the car companies to give us all the full roll down. We deserve it. We can handle it. And let’s be honest: no one’s going to throw the baby out anyway.
AWESOME!

My mum has one of those two-door cars. I hated sitting in the back seat — totally trapped, without even a window to satisfy me! (What if we were headed off a cliff? No quick escape for me…)
Oh, and look at that! We’re into the 700s! (WOOOO! I’ve commented [i.e. rambled] on each of the 201 posts thus far!)
I’m with you on the need for escape route! I also prefer the windows you can manually roll down;electric cannot be trusted!
And ltbg, a well deserved applause for being here to hold up the fort…
“Ramble on, sing your songs, b-baby!”
(Ll’l bit of Led-Z for ya’ ther:)
My elbows have paid the price for my faith in car window designers. I roll the window all the way down, and without looking I go to rest my arm on the door and BAM! Elbow smash into the window! Not cool. It should be mandatory for all windows to go down completely. I think that should be a rule in the new world!
Whenever we go away on vacation somewhere and need to rent a car, windows that roll down all the way are always top priority. Well, maybe not the very top, but still pretty high up there. I think the top priority would be having a car that’s in good shape that won’t break down or blow up or something.
Two by two…hands of blue…
Don’t mind me, just having River Song/Serenity flashbacks.
I swear I already commented on this one…did someone remove it? I’m sure I wrote about those annoying half-way down windows in my old cars, but I can’t find my post! I didn’t curse or say anything unusual. Then again, maybe I’m dreaming ’cause I’m really tired…probably the latter! LOL!
With the way cars are made . All the safty things they put in the door panels . windows can go up and down on there own , windsheild and other glass can brake at anytime . I’ve had windshield brake for no reason at all . It can be hot or cold .
