Are you a slave to your power windows?

[V®6]

I know I am

For the past three days we've had temperatures in the 30's here in Adelaide. As you can imagine the interior of the golf gets pretty hot and with a leather interior it doesn't make it any easier.

I purposely leave the windows up and swelter through the heat until I get to my destination purely because I am too scared to open the windows in case they break again.

Does any one else do this at all? Or am I the only dumb one here?

I dont worry too much about the windows. My drivers side is up and down constantly and still seems good (touch wood!).

As long as your aircon is good, then keep the windows up... unless you smoke in your car when driving...

Aircon needs a regas lol I don't use it

I just use them, if they break I'll fix them (again)

Having said that the passenger side front has been replaced with a good second hand unit and the drivers side is new Being I only really use these I'm not worried.

There is a little piece of brittle plastic about half a centimetre thick that supports the weight of the glass in the window all by itself. This has broken in 2 of my windows and I had the local engineering joint make me up a nice strong metal replacement part and now they are good as gold. I flippanty put my windows up and down like a yo yo; with full confidence.
