      Rear Window Safety Stop

      I've noticed on some cars the rear windows roll all the way down, the aveo rear windows only roll about 2/3 down like many other cars as well. Is there a way to remove the stopper if there is a "stopper" I don't know because I have never taken the door panel off in fear of breaking the roll down handle. If there is a way to allow these windows to roll all the way down I will take the chance on the handle for sure.

      Thankyou in advance.

      I hate that too, I guess that is something you can take out of the door when its apart, but that is too much work

      There could be, but I'd venture to say that the engineer's made sure it isn't easy to do.

      If you notice the shape of the door, it's impossible to get the glass all the way in. That's why they don't go down all the way.

      Ive heared its because often times children ride in the rear seats and this is supposed to make it safer for them. I guess it would make climbing out them, thats what i figured when i heared that explanation.

      as far as removing the window handle there's a c-clip holding it in place can be removed with a screwdriver or a pair of needle nose pliers

      better yet a window handle removal tool
      about $5 at a auto parts store

      +1 on this. the door glass only goes down that far because of the arch in the bottom of the door for the back wheel well..

      some cars used to advertised that is child safety... but it will really a confusion with child safety locks coming out around the same time, salesmen thought they were both child safety features, and then more people bought into the idea to make it an "option"
