Correct. That’s what I meant by “Cranks go to the rear.” As in placement in the rear for the backseat passengers.
His videos are always good for a laugh.

I like the DS crank right behind the driver.. I can and do reach back to open and or close the window as needed.
I like them open while driving for the most part.. but sometimes have to close them after I've been driving.
IMO the backseat peeps can reach them at anytime/point..
live dangerously for a moment..
actually I don't have anyone back there but the dog.. and he's fond of the breeze. I don't really concern over anyone else who'd be back there and If so.. I can still close it from the driver's seat..
long winded way to say I like to control the window..

somewhere i picked up the fact, perhaps incorrect, that driving with them open was hard on them. loosened them up.

Is the crank position "switchable" or is that a LH window mounted on the RH side?

the left hand is switchable if you take it all apart..and add a couple new parts to it. you can also put them in the opposite sides so the window cranks are at the front makes driving way easier

Yes it’s a LH a window mounted on the RH side. |
I have the same. I can still reach the crank easily enough from the rear bench.

Just switch the window from one side to the other. Swapping just the mechanism would be more time consuming for someone.
