The little triangle windows...
Hey, the 'retro styliing' thread got me to thinking about this again.
Our cars have little triangular windows in the forward part of the doors. They are non-functional.
I think it would be cool to be able to open them. Was there an option on any 993's that allowed for openable triangle windows, or is there a kit that would modify it to work? I always liked the openable triangle windows in cars that had them.
~thanks~

They are operable on the early 911/912 chassis, like your dads fifties Ford - don't know when the hinges and latch disappeared, but with some creative work perhaps they could be converted.

Those were the days, when you could open the vent window to beyond 90 degrees so fresh air would be directed to your face and body. Felt good on a warm summer evening. Wish we still had those.
The older 911's also had an opening rear side window. It'd be nice to have that back, too, but that's probably not going to happen.
Progress.

You'd think it would have been an option on the RS cars with the A/C delete...
Should be an option on any car with an ashtray and cigarette lighter!

Hmmm, I remember my 68 912 had opening wing windows and my 69 912 did not. Just checked ebay and apparently the 69 models did not have the opening windows but the 70-72 did, I'm confused.
