Auto Windows Safety Feature - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Do the auto windows have a safety stop to prevent fingers from being cut off???
I would like to know this before I attempt putting my finger in the way!

Danklvr · 03-28-2014, 07:16 PM

try with someone else's finger first?

azian_advanced · 03-28-2014, 07:22 PM

try it with a marshmallow? i dunno...

Why exactly do you want to close the window on your finger?

I would just like to know if this is a safety feature built in! You never know...

I don't think it's strong enough to cut off your finger but it might squeeze pretty hard... I'm not gonna try it though -_-

I would almost be willing to bet money that it does have a safety reverse, since most newer cars with auto-up switches do. However, I say almost because this is sometimes a weird car.

Stick something in there and find out. It doesn't have to be your finger, but I would use something soft enough that it won't damage the window, like a jacket sleeve or towel folded over to make it thick enough to be sure the reverse is working. But don't blame me if you F up your window.

it's just feels like a hard pinch as the rubber weather stripping has plenty of give -wife found this out when we saw the 10 Series at the car show last week.
