"Can't put a lever on the outside without making it likelier that criminals can open your hood." I'm guessing you meant "door" vs "hood", but... why not? Are you saying that a regular door handle makes it more likely that a criminal will open your door, so that's a problem with standard car doors as well? Not that the door design is perfect, but there's no reason they can't: - put a door handle on the outside, along with a keyhole (or possibly just a fingertip-lip on the window?) - ...which would allow you to slide the window & door along their tracks manually if needed. If you've ever had a powered garage door, it's more or less the same thing; sometimes the power will be out, so you have to be able to tug it up anyway (with a bit of extra drag from the motor, but hey, it's on springs so it's not too heavy).
