What is this window thing for?

[alfypalfy]

Ahem - I think they're glass guides, and only come into play when closing the window at speed. Above 40 - 50 mph theres a fair bit of suction in an open window, and the glass needs a help??

Or they're bugs put there by the Government to keep an eye on y'all.

Or not.

tried it earlier, opened window then tried closing it at 60mph, and it looked pretty stable didn't shake or anything enough to need a hand lining up

started noticing loads of cars with them now and mitsubishi gto's have 2 on each window.

im stumped to be honest, i can still put my windows up fine at over a ton without the need for these blocks

my 1.2 clio had them.

My N16 has them and when I put my driver's window up the plastic wedge guides it into place.

Its for when its raining.
Its to drain the water off the windscreen in a place so you can still see your door mirror

The Little hard rubber Tabs about a cm long?
Those are to prevent the glass simply being popped out!

i go with this theory

they are to guide the glass in and help stop vibration

It's a guide that just helps the glass follow into the rubber at the top. At high speed the glass can move in the wind and this helps it not to go outside the channel.
