So I have this wild idea to make the rear window on my Scion xB
openable. It is of course made from tempered glass and so making holes
in it won't work. I am pretty sure I have seen handles glued to
windows on cars but I'm not sure. The rear window is now just glued to
the rear hatch. I'm thinking that if it was removed a gasket could be
installed, and hinges, gas springs, and a latch installed. So can this
be done? Anyone here done this? I'm pretty sure that making the hinge
assembly, latches, and handle won't present any real challenges. After
all, I do have a complete mahine shop and I am a machinist.
