The youtube comments suggest that a software update fixed this issue somehow. If someone could explain to me how that could possibly work that'd be nice. Surely that handle is connected directly to the door mechanism?
- Traubenfuchs 5y agoMaybe active power can prevent that physical switch from being fully pulled until the car drops the window a little bit, when it detects one starts pulling it. This would probably take less then a second.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoIsn't the point of the lever that you need to be able to exit when the electrics have failed.
- waiseristy 5y agoAs long as you’re not heaving against the door as you open the latch the window will retract in time. If the battery went stone cold dead, you’d have to break the glass. But you would also have to do the same thing with every single other car with frameless windows
- culopatin 5y agoDo you? My Miata doesn’t have that problem, the window just rests against the rubber, doesn’t tuck under it. However, I now understand why it is so noisy lol
- waiseristy 5y agoDidn't know that! The cars I've owned with frameless windows, the glass tucks under piece of trim. Makes sense that the miata design is a little noisy!
- ImPostingOnHN 5y agoWhat about a car without frameless windows (IE, most cars) ?
- waiseristy 5y agoThen none of this would be a problem. The issue is that frameless windows usually need electricity to operate
- Doxin 5y agoThat still sounds somewhat suboptimal, but a lot better than smashing the window 100% of the time you pull that lever for sure.
