Hi,

I bought a pair of 67 window handles to make my rear vert windows work. What is the original position of the handle when windows are up ?

Thanks,
Bernard

Thanks. It's not that I am a purist, but there must be a position allowing the removal of the rear seat without problems. If someone has a picture of the ideal position on a vert....

I position my handles in the 1 o'clock position. This way, the handles don't jab any rear seated passengers in the leg

I always place them between 1 & 2 o'clock or 10 & 11 o'clock so that when they drop down, it is rolling the window up.
