Rear window opening
1 Attachment(s)
So before I purchased this FRS I had my rx8. What I loved about it was how the hear windows opened up and I was able to rear the lovely sound of wind and my exhaust without having wind blowing in my face with the front window down.
Couldn't find any thread topics on this also couldn't find any good pictures But what do you guys think about it going on our cars :) That's the only picture I had with the rear windows opened, and by the way that's my fiancé. Lol |

Second photo some reason wouldn't let me upload more then one, if you zoom in the rear window you can see it opened. All I had to do was push up to open it and push the window out.

Ok... So what's the point of your thread, do you have a question?

Check this out should work.

Lol google literally has no images of it opened. I zoomed in on one of my photos, honestly not trying to show off my old car I'm just curious and really interested
|
theoretically it wouldn't be that difficult, but you'd definitely need to take it to a reputable customization place as it's beyond the skill level of your average shade tree mechanic.

my e36 had windows like that and i was thinking the same thing. but... it would be ALOT of work for little result. Not sure how it is in the RX8 but my friend converted his rear windows from manual to a switch
|
Honestly its just one more seal to go bad, one more thing to make noise. While I as well have had vehicles with such windows they eventually were just a pain in the ass and not worth it IMO of course...;)
|
If you got deep enough pockets ANYTHING is possible
|
also the RX8 had a framed door. the FRS/BRZ is frameless and that seal butts up between both windows. you would probably have difficulty getting that to seal properly once you start trying to get that window to move.
actually if you were to replace that back triangle window with a whole new fixed piece that had a smaller glass piece in it that was hinged and everything that would probably work. cause then the seal up again the door windows would be in a fixed place and wouldn't interfere. |
Thanks for all your opinions guys, after thinking last night ima gonna do it lol the shop that's installing my rocketbunny is going to do that little rear window mod for me also
|
post pics when ur done. then pics again when after it rains
|
this is BRZ/FR-S/GT86..not rx8.
|
OP, l miss this from the RX8 too. I wish they were automatic however, as it was a PITA to operate them manually.
|
How about putting a T-fitting in the sound tube and routing it all the way near the exhaust?
No? Ok...:( |

Juices are getting to me! honestly just want this thread back on topic. But if you need a vape or juices nobody can beat my prices :) |
Ext cab Tacoma's have those type windows I loved them. Never had any leaking problems with them except when I forgot to close them.
|
Can't you get a motorized one? My dad's toyota sienna has them in the rear. But it looks like when ever he used it. It flex the glass.
