Frameless Windows > All
I love having frameless windows on the Tiburon. Anyone else prefer them over doors with frames? How come the Tiburon was the only car Hyundai made with them and not do the same design on others?

Kind of sacrifices practicality for style points...
You gotta have thicker, heavier glass and window guides so it doesn't boom and resonate at highway speeds, or shatter when you slam the door. I don't think I'd win any more pussy if my car suddenly had frameless doors.

Dihedral Helix Synchro-actuation: (n.) pretty much the sexiest thing to ever be invented.

Scissor (aka: Lamborghini) style: (n.) played out on civics but still cool on a bull

Even great granddaddy lacks a metal bezel

Frameless = the only way to go!

I have had more sluts pose on my vehicles with framed windows than those without.


...of all types...
ANYway, I meant that for a given level of interior refinement/shatter resistance, you need thicker glass and better window guides than you would otherwise have on framed windows. One trick that's really neat is the use of guide pins on the DC2 integra windows:

It stops the window from falling all over the place and places less stress on the glued joint between the regulator and window glass. Neat!
