In case you thought you'd seen it all....

TomV of Aspen has the two middle sliding windows in his Syncro mounted upside-down. That gives you the opening at the rear of the window. Makes for great ventilation in bed, etc.

He originally did it for his cat--to jump through the window onto the table, or something.

Of course, if you drive in Pacific NW weather, you load a lot of water into the window break which is now backwards.... TomV put some weather-stripping in there to deal with it, plus Aspen is NOT in the Pacific NW rain belt.

Works for him--he did both windows, even though the cat needed only one.

He doesn't read this list, so don't bother jumping all over him about what a bad idea this is....

Richard
