Today I got a pair of rear door window frames and they do not have opening quarter lights --there is a sealed piece of glass instead---is this a standard part? it looks it
 
Cars fitted with the fixed glasses have flow-through vents in the rear pillars. Bruiser has them. lt was a short-lived modification though.
 
Olivia keeps leaving them open and I end up with all sorts as car lives outside 24/7 so I thought--put these in and problem sorted---lazy me I know
as for ventilation--I got a mini foldback roof-Wipac---I know its not Webasto--But it dont leak--which cant be said for 99% of ones I have encountered
 
There's a good period brochure picture of someone sat in the back seat, smoking a cigarette, with smoke wafting out from around the rear pillar. I was never sure whether the later cars, which reverted to the opening quarter lights, retained the additional ventilation or not.

Whether it ever worked like that in real life is another story.
 
The vents were retained for a while. I've had two 3500S's that had both opening quarterlights & the through flow ventilation flaps, may & september 72 cars.
 
l guess they must have had base units with vents fitted left over after they decided to discontinue them.
They're not in my 2200 or '75 3500. I haven't checked my '73.
 
How Rover thought they could ever work is beyond me, considering how tightly the interior rear quarter panel fits, I think you'd be hard pushed to get a fag paper past it!

My current P6 is a Nada & as such has fixed rear quarter lights & I can confirm, they are a massive disappointment!
