Bu**er all as far as I can see from the pic. Unless your insurance company is one of those that thinks LHD is dangerous.
Is this one of those rhetorical questions?

Odd wheels maybe with unmatched tyres?

I have a sliding window there too (though its a double glazed cherry part :lol: )

It was only fitted just before the engine went so I havnt had much chance to chop my lads head off yet, but if you notice the part that opens is behind the seat so you cant really lean out very easily while sat on the back seat. I am looking forward to getting away again in the warmer months and being able to slide it open while lay in bed. I have only ever seen one other double glazed rear slider like the one we have and that was in Slovenia and I noticed one on a young German couples van and that got me searching :mrgreen:

You'd never find a rear sliding window on the same side as a sliding door and for good reason. The risk of serious injury is too great.

Could any of you live with yourself if - for instance - your kid was leaning out of a window to say goodbye to their mates, as one of them hauls the door open to let themselves out? F### me I think I'd kill myself over the guilt.

Jed, please put some sort of metal grille across that window.
