Then again, I'm assuming you also have a problem with lift hatches and hoods that are supported by gas shocks as well?
I do agree with the glass comments, though. If I wanted an exorbitant set of windows in my car, I'd just drive my green house.

The door sills are rather high, guaranteed to get roadgrime on your clothes.
In my experience, gas shocks are not a long term solution. Vise grips, there's a long term solution for ya. |

Panhard-Levassor Dynavia. This prototype from 1948 was an experiment in aerodynamic efficiency, using the flat twin 605 cc Dyna Panhard engine. Panhard would continue to build high quality fuel efficient cars until 1967.
