1-3-2-4 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I rather have framed windows :-/ so easy to unlock the doors with a frameless window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyalla Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Frameless windows on the Legacy are great they just suffer from poor execution by Subaru. Unfortunately Subaru has interpreted the complaints to mean people don't want them so now here come the frames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator GT Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p61/sebberry/forum%20pics/disclaimer2.jpg Fricken gorgeous! We soooooo need a decal like this on the windows! My coworker would incessantly grab the window with his WHOLE HAND (rather than a polite, but still ignorant finger or two push) and close the door that way. He moved on and is no longer my co-worker....no, not because of that. BTW, I love the frameless and have not had a speed issue - window pulling away at all.

mattg Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 i think it's silly to say that frameless rules. I think it's cheaper, and that's what they do it. It certainly isn't good for the windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meier motor sports Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 It's also good to have something to close the door with that won't leave fingerprints. like the door handle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPU1 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 like the door handle? well it is awkward to close the door with the flush style handles on the legacy, the type on the impreza is much easier to use. i think subaru should use these handles on the legacy as well as implement a seal such as on the porsche, bmw, mercedes where the window actually tucks up under a top part of the door opening. this system is much more secure. i hate having to wipe water off the INSIDE of the window after i wash the car... WTF? but even as they are i love the frameless windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTATURBO Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 ...as well as implement a seal such as on the porsche, bmw, mercedes where the window actually tucks up under a top part of the door opening. this would be great but would effect the overall price of the car IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 it was weird when i saw the new 08 Impresza came with door frames, i felt very disturbed by it ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacejunkiehsv Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I prefer framed, just because of the reduced wind/road noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcaveman Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 In My 96 Impreza the only time the frame less windows bothered me was during those cold Rochester winters, when the rubber would get so hard and brittle it was like having nothing at all. The 06 Leggy what a huge improvement in both cold the cold weather and highway driving. Have to try a WRX with the frames for a comparo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 95 Impreza I was scared to open the door on very cold mornings as the rubber would get stuck to the window and I thought it would tear off.

DukeTrout Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Isn't the claim from Subaru (and other mfrs who use frameless windows) that by placing the metal that would go to the window frame into the frame of the car instead, safety and rigidity is improved?

Yeah, that makes sense, alas no longer for Subaru... 2008 Impreza, Tribeca, 2009 Forester... Legacy next to axe frameless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
