Is there a way to override how far the rear windows go down on these cars? I have grown accustomed to my Burb and European cars where the rear windows go all the way down. These on the Bonnie barely go down half way. My daughter is not going to like that.

Look at the shape of the door where it's cut out for the wheel wells. There isn't ROOM for them to go down further.

You got two options:

1.) Cut a hole in the door and wheel well and cut a corner off the window to clear the tire;

2.) Cut the top half of the window off.

What I'm trying to say is no, there isn't. The wheel is too far forward in the door and the window cannot physically go down any further.

After investigating the doors and their shape, I figured that this was the case. Oh well.

See the car in my sig? Buy one of them if you want it that bad....

Never bothered me too much! And if anything, it might keep the kids/things they throw in the car a little more.
