How hard do the windows roll up?
 
Top stopped a bit farther from the windshield frame than I'm used to. I reached up, grabbed it, and it relaxed all the way forward easily.

Not even thinking, I threw the latch forward while holding the top still. The second I felt the window touch my hand, I ripped it right out at the last possible second.

I assume that would crush the **************** out of your hand??

I think it has a safety and would stop the first time. But if you pushed it a second time I bet it would squash you.

experiment and report back...:p

I am having trouble understanding exactly what happened, but I am guessing your question is about the strength of the door window motors vs. your hand?

I think the motor would stop before you were seriously hurt, but it would probably really suck to have your hand in there.

Use a GoPro... But i was curious once when young and rolled the window up on my own arm in my mothers accord at the time. It stopped pretty quickly.

I dunno, but my dad jerked his hand out pretty quick. It could definitely hurt you. :0
