Why rear car windows can't wind all the way down?

[Silence Sky]

I realise most car rear windows can't wind all the way down.
Some old cars with manual movement can wind all the way down.
Does anyone knows the resons why is it so?:dunno:

to prevent rear passengers, ie: kids, from falling out of the window.
older cars do not have this safety feature.

maybe cause of the wheel arch thats why the window cannot go all the way down???

Old cars they have a rear portion that cannot wind down. Below is the arch that is needed for clearance for the car's rear tyres. That is why the portion that is not above the arch can be completely wound down.

New cars they do away with that triangular section that is fixed. The whole glass can be wound down. But that arch below is in the way. So the rear part stops there, the front part can go as low as it can, into the door. The rear part just stops above the arch but inside the door the glass already went as far down as it can.

Get it?

No leh, even the newer Subaru Legacies also cannot wind the window down the whole way due to the cut out at the bottom corner for the wheel arch. But then again it's also not really a problem unless you intend to stick ur head out the rear windows.

Get a coupe or a 3 door hatchback, and you'll not have this problem:sticktong hee hee
