Re: window modification
saber
i've been threatening to post my rear window mod for a couple of months now but just havent taken pics. I'll get off my butt n' do it today.
A simple little add-on. I found flexible stuff like bungees, etc doesnt do it- you want something stiff to hold the window in its position.
I used a small plastic hook, a length of snowboard binding ratchet strap, and screwed a snowboard binding ratchet clip to the plastic at the top of the hump behind the wheel. It takes just a second to click it on & then you can adjust the window opening from a small crack to about 6-8" open. Works pretty good. I keep it in the rear door storage so its right there beside the window when you open the door. Sometimes, wind buffeting ,trucks, etc can put air pressure on the outside of the window and it clicks in a few notches. I will be replacing the ratchet with one that has a cam that locks it in place. You dont need to be a snowboarder to do this mod- they usually have a graveyard of parts in some dusty box at most sports stores. cant imagine it'd be $5 to assemble all the parts. I'll post pics for you later today.
