I am not sure if this is where i should post this. I am new to this site and am not sure as to whether i can get any answers here or not. I would like to know if there is a way to get the rear windows of my 2000 maxima to roll all the way down and still be functional. the site looks way cool. i hope to be visiting it more often now that i know it exists. Thanks. Jim

You could take a hacksaw to the rear window, but then they won't go all the way up!
I don't think there is one car left that still rolls down the back windows all the way. (maybe Rolls and Bentleys, but not much more, not even the Caddys)

You could sell your max and get something 2 door... then the rear windows would roll all the way down 
When I was replacing the speakers in the rear doors, I could touch the glass when the windows were down.. you could maybe get them to go down a little more... but not much I don't think... There's probably just a sensor that tells the motor where the bottom is...

Well, if you look at ancient history (and for this group, that's like 20 years 
) the original reason the rear windows didn't go all the way down was for two reasons. One, was the cars started shrinking, and the rear wheel wells started intruding into the passenger compartment, and the other was to prevent little kids from being able to crawl out of a moving car through the window.
'Course, that was before car seat laws. Same sort of thinking that went into your ability to prevent the rear doors from being opened from the inside.
'Course, in those days, you rode on daddy's lap and helped him drive the car.

I've looked inside my driver's door before and there is about 4 inches of glass beyond the actual mechanisms that lower the window. In order to get the windows to roll down completely, the mechanism must be changed so there is not that much glass below the "visible" end of the window and the way it slides down will have to be similar to the older models ls 400, where the front slides more than the back so it is actually diagonally shapped when inside the door.

thanks a lot
I really appreciate all the feedback I got from you guys regarding that damned window. Nonetheless, I am going to a junk yard and see if I can find a rear door from a 2000 maxima and take it home and take it apart and try to figure out a way to get that window down. Why, you may ask, is it so important to me? because it is there. and besides, I want to hang my arm out the back window as I'm driving down PCH with my chair reclined. I'll get back with you all if I find anything new out. Thanks again.

Another thing good about the rear window rolling down all the way is that if by chance you have a really wasted person in back he can roll the window down freely and just do his barfing free from obstructions...I never have anyone wasted in my car but if any of you do watch out...

Ever see the side of a car when someone ralph's out the window? Not a pretty sight. I'll bet it takes the wax right off the car.
Better to make an emergency stop and kick his/her butt out of the car until the deed is done. Hopefully, it's not raining.
Might want to put a rubber mat in the trunk and keep 'em there. I shudder to think what would happen to my perforated leather...
