Rear windows to roll down fully

I have a 2000 Maxima SE and I was wondering if anybody knew any way to fix the rear windows so they roll all the way down. I searched for a good half hour and couldn't find anything so I apologize if this is a repeat.

Thanks

yes, you can by cutting a hole on the side of back doors.
the glasss are wider than the doors on the bottom...

it looks better with less window split, but you just can't roll them down.

the 6th gens can roll down all the way i think...our car's door don't have enough room for the whole window to sit in it. i usually just roll down the fronts and if i want better air flow i just lower the rears maybe an inch or two.

Not in Canada. The rears on my Envoy roll all the way down. It's simply how the car is designed. Mind you, I never roll them all the way down even with my kids strapped into their child seats. I'm not so much worried about them as I am about toys being thrown out

it has nothing to do with being a safety feature in canada, many cars have this feature. I was just disappointed when I saw that my max can't do it. I either just leave the windows all the way up, or an inch down, or just keep it levelled with my front windows, I find that having the front/rear matching in height looks the best.
