The side windows are two layers with an air space for thermal insulation, by the way.
I'm intending to have robust air flow through the inside (as needed), and if that is done well, then the drag of open windows can be avoided.

A cheap and easy way to have openable side windows is to use the system found on the Citroen 2cv, which used a 2 piece glass with the upper piece hinging inward and down to open the top half of the side window. The Renault 4 used a simple opening system where the glass slid horizontally.
