Power windows vs. Roll. and by how much.

 

What is this, A trick Question? :-)
Power window vehicle have motors for the windows. That should answer your question as to which is lighter.

As for the exact weight, I don't know. Approx 3-5 lbs would be my guess per side.

 

Yes. Well i would have figured but I was just wondering is any of you mazdafreaks new the exact weight.

 

Use the hand crank windows with the power window glass. Power window glass is lighter to put less strain on the motors. Or so I've been told. Don't know weights, but lose the motors and add lighter glass, should drop a few pounds, as stated, per side.

 

There is no difference in the window weights. :-)

 

Thanks so much. So how is the glass lighter?

 

I dunno, that's just what a little birdy told me..... but since Doc said that's incorrect, I'm now going to eat the bird. Whoa, triple post.

 

I stated that in a post once as a joke to member. Maybe that's where you remember it from. :-)

 

why reduce weight when you can add power?

 

Actually I think, but I'm not positive, Sam(dj55b) mentioned it, but you could very well be right. I wouldn't quote me on that though, my memory is very horrible.

 

I did actually weigh my windows and they are different by like 100 grams/4 ounces (power lighter on mine), so that could just be those specific windows differnt. Just to squash that rumor.

 

Thank you, I am now justified

 

Yup there was a thread about it last year or so about weighing their power windows vs manual and saw that the power were lighter.

 

That was me posting the joke. The window themselves are not lighter. :-)

 

See what you started Doc? Way to go...

 

I think these guys have been smoking some funny weed. :-)

 

Just don't run it with the blinker fluid filled to the top. That'll save you a few pounds at least.

 

Reduce weight is better than adding power.

 

and what would be even better? remove weight AND add power

 

Was that a joke to say add power windows? lol.

Reduce weight for better handling. Well unless int he rain i suppose. Weight reduction is the least expensive way to can speed.

 

that was the intended target

 

Then it was a good joke. lol.
