Why can't the rear window of the Volkswagen CC be fully lowered?
2 Answers
Some car rear windows are designed from the outset not to lower completely, and engineers can only maximize the window opening within the limited space available. Here is some relevant information about Volkswagen: 1. Introduction: Volkswagen is a German automobile manufacturer headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, founded by Ferdinand Porsche on March 28, 1937. 2. Development: The company owns brands such as Audi and Volkswagen. In May 2021, Volkswagen Group ranked 17th on the '2021 Forbes Global 2000' list. 3. Corporate Logo: Volkswagen (German: VolksWagenwerk) translates to 'the people's car,' and its logo has undergone several changes throughout history. The current Volkswagen logo features the letters 'VW,' which are the initials of its full name.
When I first drove the Volkswagen CC, I noticed the rear windows always stopped short and couldn't roll down completely. This is actually a design feature, as the CC is a two-door coupe with short, streamlined rear doors. The frameless door and window design makes the car look sleeker, but the shape of the rear wheel arches takes up space. If the windows rolled all the way down, they would interfere with the wheel wells—there's just not enough room. Similar cars like the Audi A5 also have this feature; it's not a malfunction or anything. Once you get used to it, it's fine, and it even improves aerodynamics for better high-speed stability. While the rear seats might get a bit hot in the sun, a dark tint solves that without affecting driving safety. Overall, the style is fantastic, and driving it feels ultra-cool. Minor drawbacks like this are easy to overlook—no need to fuss over them.
