>>>Rolling down a window is also the correct term. Before power windows and >>>door locks, everything was MANUAL. The pane of glass in the doors were on >>>ROLLERS, YES ROLLERS. The handle was turned clockwise to ROLL the window >>>down and counter-clockwise to ROLL it back up!!! My first car (1967 >>>Plymouth) and my current truck (1999 Toyota) both had manual windows. >>>Nowadays, most vehicles have power windows that are sitting in grooves/trays >>>that are raised and lowered electrically with gears inside the door panels. >>>So ROLLING a window down refers to vehicles that had manual windows, because >>>the glass was sitting on ROLLERS!!!!<<<
Wow, I've gained some knowledge about car windows that I never had before, and I didn't even have to subscribe to "Learn-a-Month" magazine! Thanks, Gaither!
