Bart, Your subject really had me thinking that you were flying high in your "94" Vanagon. Unfortunately, adjusting the wing windows isn't so simple. The adjustment clamp is buried inside the door where it is difficult to reach. Need a Phillips screw driver to adjust tension on pivot point. On an unrelated subject, out subway trains in San Francisco are called BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). Our Vanagons, especially the ones with round headlights, resemble Vanagons. So I found it appropriate that there should be a "Bart in Nebraska". Sorry for the early (for me) morning humor.
