window alteration L400

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.

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.
Thanks, Louise

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

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