RE: [T3] Wing Vent winndows...


Just to put my 2 cents in...I love the vent windows. I don't know why VW
ever got rid of them, I always heard it had to do with security. I figure
for my car it is probably easier to just open the door, as I rarely lock my
vehicle.

One thing I don't like about them - regarding the sealing of them. They are
kind of designed to fail in the sealing, right? Both windows on my bus and
my squareback don't seal quite completely when closed. I notice a high pitch
whistle when driving at high speeds, that disappears as soon as I crack the
vent a little. It seems that the locking point and hinge point not being
opposite each other, causes problems.

Actually the drivers side in my sqbk has another odd problem, which I know
of no way to fix. The top pivot hole seems to be too big, there is a lot of
slop there.  So when driving with it closed -this window rattles-as it is
loose on the top. Anyone else have this problem, or know a solution?

Thanks,
