Had not given thought to the possibility that power windows might be cheaper in the long run than mechanical ones! RB

Yes, both front windows are power. The rear windows do not open at this time. Would be nice if they had a pop-out window for the rear passenger in the production model.
They told me that 'pop-out vent' passenger windows would be an OPTION.

That would be awesome if both windows opened. Put a sunroof option in with both windows down and that would be some ride!

Since they are trying to use off the shelf items, and most cars have power windows, it might be a cost issue.

I heard it was a weight issue. The electric window is lighter than the crank up mechanical scissor mechanism.
