RE: [T3] Popout to non-popout side glass... how?

["Tom Cloud" <computerspace@hotmail.com>]

I can pretty much say that without a doubt T1 popouts will not work in
a Fastback. In a FB, the glass bends when you open the window. There
are no hinges (as such) involved with it's movement.

Now if someone wants to turn engineer, you might be able to modify a
set of stationary FB windows to use some kind of hinge attached to the
leading edge of the window frame, ah'la T1, but I wouldn't want to try
it. And besides, what kind of window weatherstrip would you use to 
seal it up when it was closed?

Anyway, just my .02.
