The problem lies mostly with my passengers. It seems that the last one in is always having to close their door two or three times. VW solved this problem so nicely on the later model Vgons with the vents on the rear side windows. I'd just like to have something that works as well. I doubt I'll get it, but I'd sure like to have it...

Your business of course, but why is opening the window a tad not a thing to do approach? Over the years, I've owned or been in cars owned by others that acted the same way. Seemed no problem. DMc
