Anyone able to turn lb rear windows into "pop-out windows?" - Toyota Yaris Forums

ozmdd · 09-12-2009, 11:17 PM

I think this is a VERY good idea, if it could be sealed well. (no rain rail) One of my only Yaris complaints is that there is a wind "oscillation" when driving with the windows down. That would improve airflow.
It would be extra-cool to adapt some of the motors from a Chrysler mini-van so they can be opened/closed remotely. (I rented one, never owned!!)

CTScott, what was involved in the removal? Any pics of the window frame with the glass out?

Below are pics of the window and the frame. The glue is unbelievable. This window was harder to cut out than the windshield was. The tool I purchased has an L shaped blade that you insert into the glue and you pull it along. It was extremely hard cutting the wide band of glue with it. After I struggled with removing it I did some research and found that a piece of piano wire is far more effective. I used the piano wire on the windshield and it cut the glue far better.

Thanks for proving me wrong on that one.

Window vent visors pretty much take care of the wind "oscillation".

This would definitely be a good mod if its possible.

It gets hot in that back seat with out the AC on.
