Rear Windows

[acecard]

Do the rearmost side windows open on a mk3 galaxy?  There used to be a catch to open them on the mk2 but for the life of me, I can't find a way on the mk3.

That had me puzzled too. The Titanium X does have motorised ones like the old Ghia and there seems to be a provision for the motor. The windows seem to have hinges and everything else so I suppose it might be possible to get them back to the old standard and it could have been included at minimal cost. Personally I should have been delighted if they had not "upgraded " the front seats to sports seats and given us the motors.

 

I guess it's one of the many negative improvements. 

 

I wonder if they will learn from all of this and try to restore the Galaxy to what it used to be or will they give up like they did with the Granada/Scorpio and leave us with something which is just not in the same class.

 Thanks Scorpio, I just thought I had gone daft.

Actually put the car details in FordEtis and it confirmed rear quarterlights do not open in the minor features tab.

Just don't see the point!

 

I noticed too that the radio antenna wires are now in the nearside window rather than offside as in the mk2.

I would have thought offside would be marginally better for signal reception, is this another improvement :blush:
