Tilt "smokers" window swap side to side?

[sureshot007]

Is it possible two swap the little folding windows on the doors so that they push out from the front?

[Akula69]

Hmmmm....never thought about that before, but the mounting brackets/pins would have to be modified, and the gasket would probably prevent it.

I don't really see it happening. Why do you want it to do that? Every one I've had you could turn about 160 degrees out so it acted as an air scoop.

[sureshot007]

I haven't installed the doors yet, so I forgot that they do flip out that far. So that might just work. I need them to act as air scoops for when we are racing - it gets awfully hot in that thing with the windows rolled up.

:agree:

Mine don't open, that must be another option.

A lot of them don't have the wing/smoker windows.

Do you have a rear sliding window? That would greatly improve airflow if not already installed. Also, you could get some of those do it yourself sunroof's, and install them backwards to work like an air grabber. Don't forget that you might also be able to put some sort of vent in by the kickpanel to let some fresh air in by your feet. But you are going to have to cut sheetmetal.

Rear window is plexi, so I am trying to figure out if I can make a new one think enough to support a sliding window.

 

I'm probably going to add a roof scoop at some point as well.

Ya know..........with your "new" rear window, a sliding section could be added :brows:

 

There's no way the wing vents could be reversed, the "bow" of the frame is side set, and the main glass would not work in the track.

 

If you ever get a chance, with the fan on high, set on vent, and a sliding rear window, the air really flows thru the cab with the windows rolled up :yes:

When I open the those windows, and the rear window, the air flows in through the rear, and out the sides. Installing my topper makes the airflow stronger.
