Will The Right Side Window Open?

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.

I question the need for costly power windows or door (1 door) locks in a one person wide vehicle with everything right at your finger tips. Would rather have a better radio , cd player, additional speakers, etc., or what ever!!!

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

There might be a handful of vehicles produced today without power windows. It's likely cheaper to purchase the power window assy than a manual one. Also, the door panels will be cheaper to produce without having to cut and finish around the hole for the crank; it also eliminates the cost of any trim around the crank handle for a finished look. The window/door controls will likely be an off the shelf item from another vehicle.

when was new car shopping this past few years i did not see any on the lots with manual windows and when went to the online build your own they did no have any reference to manual wndows for h cars i was shopping for. the windows came with othe items in a package. so it may be the manual windows are just not being made anymore in the us.
