johnbuzzed Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 What does one call the windows behind the front windows- are they back windows or rear, side windows? And, what does one call the large piece of glass in the rear of the passenger compartment- the back window, or the rear window, or the backlight?

cobraman Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Are you talking about the vent windows or wing windows ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Myers Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 and, the back window IS often referred to as the backlite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 And though those narrow side windows may be called 'vent' windows, they usually don't open on modern vehicles..they are just there for practical reasons--on a 4dr they are there to allow the door window to be narrower so it can be lowered down into the door more fully. Though in modern cars w/ A/C it's rare to lower all the windows, at least I rarely put down rear door windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 back windows, wing windows, quarter windows for the rear pretty much the ones you mentioned except backlight.. Actually, 'backlight' is exactly what the rear glass is called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobramike Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 lol, when I was "much younger" the small windows just behind the windshield were called "NOSE DRAFT WINDOWS". So I grew up calling those that. The looked like noses, and you could direct air in all different directions including your nose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
