Rear windows

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

actually it is a national safety standard for ALL cars rear window to be
able to be "popped" out with simply the use of your feet.
Yeah Just learned it in my defensive driving course only..go figure.

they state it is in case the car falls into a river or is submerge and
cannot operate the side windows, you can crawl into the back of the car and
push your way out of it. (I would like to see a submerged scirocco owner try
to climb in the rear of the car...humm...another reason I keep a "window
hammer" a nicely tipped hammer that will break glass with almost too much of
an ease.)

=>Hey,
=>
=>I had to pull the glass out of my car to take window tint off.  Just use
=>something to pry the glass out by levering it underneath the
=>seal. I used a
=>door panel popper. If you're using something metal, make sure to
=>wrap it in
=>tape so that it doesn't scratch anything.  With a combination of
=>prying from
=>outside and pushing from inside, all my windows popped right out without
=>much fuss.  The glass seems to be much stronger than you might think. Once
=>you have it off, the seal will come right off of the glass, and
=>you can slap
=>another one back on.  The glass goes back in as easily as it came out, and
=>with some soapy water and some patience you shouldn't have too
=>much trouble.
=>
=>Oh, on a side note, this is also a very threatening security
=>flaw. It's just
=>a good thing not too many people know that the glass comes out
=>that easily.
=>You could get into a scirocco even if it had a shock sensor and glass
=>breakage sensor.  Our only defence would be a radar proximity sensor.
