Hi,
Has anyone heard of having the side window behind the driver modified to open a bit more than the one inch or so it currently does? I am the new owner of an L400 and would like to make it so my dog, Chica, can put her nose outside. I have asked at an auto glass shop and they said no, but I am not easily dissuaded......Any ideas?
Thanks,
Louise

some l300s have slide-open side windows... maybe possibly the same option is available for the l400 and you could swap them out.

Re: window alteration L400
Thanks, that's definitiely an option to explore.
Does anyone know if it is possible change the existing catch to make it open wider?
I also checked with Speedy and they were no help at all.

I'd check with the UK or Aussie sites. They have had these waaaay longer than anyone here.

Re: window alteration L400
It is very unlikely that you can do anything without a major modification because of the way the window is mounted:

PS. You do not need to be able to read, just look at the pictures. The guy is showing how bad the design is: rusted and almost fell off.
