Quarter Lights (Vent Windows)
Quarter lights are small pivoting windows at the front of the side windows, used on older cars for ventilation without draughts.
What is Quarter Lights (Vent Windows)?
They were common before air conditioning. Some rear doors also have fixed quarter glass. Seals harden and leak with age. Reproduction seals are available for many popular classics.
How it works
The small window pivots to direct airflow into the cabin.
Why it matters for your car
Worn catches can make them a security weak point. Replace seals to stop water and wind noise.
