Ie would it be possible to pop out four windows instead of two. I've found in my Notch the vent wing windows work superbly however, as they are a little loose a bit of string holds them in place during high speed or windy periods. Isn't uncommon for 40 degree C weather in Sunny Central Queensland, OZ and it did pretty well, and I don't have pop-outs in the Notch, just bad door rubber. If you were to reverse the middle pop-outs wouldn't you then need the rear to pop out to help with the through put of the air? Not sure if you could reverse them as the shape would be wrong wouldn't it? Might need some major work on the door pillar depending on how close they are to the three point seat belt harness point? Of course anything is possible? What if you were to put some louvres/ventilation points on the inside of the tailgate at say......where the vinyl trim in the tail gate is on the inside and put some low louvres on the outside (facing down so that water couldn't get in) of the tailgate. I'm not sure how much force would be pushed on the rear gate with air coming through or the vacuum it could create may even push the water back into the door rusting it out. (maybe not a good idea) Just a thought though..... Any other ideas? Regards, Wayne '72 Notch '73 Square '83 Sigma
