I gather that the rear windows fly open at speed due to the aerodynamics , but who cares, just drive it more slowly and put up with all those admiring looks.



Not just open Andy - the butterfly windows have been known to fly off altogether at speed!

For this reason, the factory fit a set of extended studs and use a different window/hinge bonding agent if any Aeromaxes pass through for a factory service. By the time I sold my car, I was on my third set of window glasses, the second (rebonded at a factory service) set having shattered as my Son opened them on a scorching hot day. The Factory was very helpful, accepting that the hinge bond was hard to get right - too flexible and it allows enough play for the windows to fly open, and if too inflexible it doesn't allow for thermal expansion of the glass and it shatters - and fitted a third set which were fine, though the studs fixing the glass do slightly spoil the smooth lines.

It's hard to tell if the gorgeous green car in the photo has this mod or not. It does have an external aerial antenna on the rear wheel arch - presumably because the integral aerial built into the rear side windows is not really up to the job.
