I would like to be able to wind my rear windows all the way down. I dont have kids and if kids are gonna travel in the back I'll just lock out the window controls. Anyone ever try to mod the rear windows to go all the way down. I haven't even opened the rear door to check to see if it can be done. Just curious to see if anyone has a write-up of the procedure. I think I wanna add this to my to do list for summer.

I, too, wish the rear door windows could roll all the way down. It's a physical impossibility. The doors aren't big enough.

Measure the height of your rear door window. It is 17 inches. Now open the rear door and visualize where the trailing edge of the glass would be if the window was rolled down 17 inches. It's not inside the door!

while we are on the windows subject:

is there any was that the rest of the switches can be modded to act like the drivers window and go all the way down when the button is hit once. This must be possible and simple i'm guessing...

Who is Autoloc? Also...while you're on the topic...does anyone have a kit to make the windows one-touch auto-up? That is a feature offered on European cars (those in Europe, not sure about the ones they import here) that I would love to add to the Maxima.

better question...

how does the driver's power window circuit differ from the rest of the windows?

and how do one touch systems work? do they detect the surge in current draw of the motor when the device hits the end of it's travel and puts extra load on the motor then pop like a circuit breaker?

I found a way!!!!

Check it out SprintMax found out how to do it!!!

Modification by Ryan Fobart:

Tools Required:

Jack Stands
2 Ton Jack
Lugnut Removal Tool
Saftey Goggles
Chain Saw
Apron
Band Aids
6 pack of Beer.

1) Jack the Car up in the Rear
2) Place Jack Stands under Car (check to make sure the car is secure and will not fall)
3) Remove Rear wheels
4) Put on Saftey Goggles for extreme saftey
5) Start up the chain Saw
6) climb under car by rear wheel well
7) Use chain saw to cut large hole under the rear wheel well
8) The Rear window will fall out
9) Repeat on Opposite Side of car
10) Grab the 6 pack of beer and drink while you wonder what the f*ck you just did..

Incase you were wondering due to the wheel well the rear windows will not go all the way down..

The kit from Autoloc.com works on both the sunroof and the windows. I have one-touch windows (all four) as well as the sunroof. It took about a week for all 5 kits to arrive, and about 3 hours to install them all.

Hey can you please give us some more info on how did you install it. does it require any modification to the factory wiring or is it just "plug n play". Please update us with some more info. i am very interested in doing this soon. thanx
