Anyone able to turn lb rear windows into "pop-out windows?" - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

You could use a seal simular to the kind garm sells for sealing the hood around the window. That way keeps it air tight and water tight when its not poped out and just remove the glue. And install a hindge. If you look at the mid 90s ford escort hatchbacks. Its simular size and style pop up window. Maybe can remove the hinge from one in a junk yard and try it out. Only thing is how do you go about drilling a hole in the glass window to insert it without cracking it.

For drilling the window, you use a diamond drill bit or bring it to a glass shop.

If someone is serious about experimenting with this they can have the left side window (that I posted the picture of above) just for the cost of shipping. I expected to break the window removing it, and was very surprised when I did not. I was going to throw it away, but then figured I'd hang onto it in case someone without glass coverage needed it.

it would be nice to put in some Lexan while you are at it too.

I had an 1st gen nissan quest similar to the pic attached. The side windows had a nice slim hinge and the rear had power. Removing the middle windows were easy: pop the trim and unfasten 4 bolts.
