Limited rear Window Travel: Why?[850/95] posted by michael on
Wednesday, 3 January 2001, at 9:18 p.m.
I have a 95 850 sedan, and am wondering why the rear windows only travel downwards about 5 inches. Is it simply a design thing? A limitation of the sedan which doesn't occur with the "estate"? A child protection feature? Or is it SIPS related?
Can the travel be extended through in-door modifications?

The same exists with almost ALL other 4 door cars as well (not just Volvos). Take a look at the door noticing the rear wheel well arch, that's why, the window simply can't go down into that limited space (more that than a "safety" feature really).
