xN8x Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 This is probably going to sound like a stupid question but I'll try... I have a 1990 4 door cutlass supreme. The rear windows are the child safety ones that only go half way down. It annoys me that they don't open all the way and I highly doubt I'll ever have a child in the rear seat. Is there a way to get them to go all the way down? Please don't flame me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihela816 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 It is the design of the doors that makes the windows not go down, not a child safety thing. There is nothing you can do about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Child safety is what unscrupulous dealers say to try to make a design issue look like a "feature". Yeah, it's completely due to the shape of the doors. It's caused by the cutout for the wheel well. Some cars the windows can go all the way down because they have a bar splitting the glass. In other cars, all the bar does is allow the window to go down further than if it weren't there, but it still won't go all the way down. If they could have figured out a way to make the windows go all the way down, they would have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 yup! Child safety is just a made up term. If your kid isn't restrained and can hop out a window of a moving vehicle, it just wasn't meant to be. The parent should just hop out the window too. :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 You can't hang a really good moon out of em. You know... the kind of moon that shows the slight turkey neck all because some dumass who's kid climbed out a back window while on the highway. =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Yeah, except with a 2 door you can't open them at all.... Unless you have a convertible, then they open AND go all the way down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
