Ford Mustang: Dumass car makers!!

How are you going to fix the problem of all the young children that have there
hands pinched by the closing doors? That's been going on long before the advent
of motorized windows.

And not just kids....

But that's where intuitive learning and Darwin rules come in.

Point being the automakers need to be picking their battles... it's stupid to
not be proactive on the switches.

So a door you need to learn to teach your children to keep hands out, but a
power window is the manufactures fault? Kind of faulty reasoning. Or am I
missing your point?

I don't like gizmos like that anyway, but I think those dumbass tree-huggers
need a good shooting in the face.

Well, sorta... the complaint is that 3-5 year olds were leaning out windows
and putting knees on the window switches and strangling themselves..


Dont ask me why the keys were left on

The switch being easy to modify as per the Mitsu (pull up) type.. it's stupid
to keep the rocker type.

In Europe a few years back I believe it became mandatory to have
pressure sensors on power windows just because of the kid accidents. So
the technology should be readily available. I believe the method used
is the same as the 'pressure sensitive' method used on garage door
openers. But I believe they stop rather than move back. I'd have to
call my dad and have him check his new car to see what it does...

The sad part is not just the people injured, but the stupid parents who are
too busy to keep an eye on their children when they're in the car. My
children are in their 30's now and neither of them was ever hurt by a
closing door or an electric window while they were living with me. Of
course, I didn't have a cell phone, pager, PDA, or notebook to distract me
when I was getting the kids ready for a trip. Of course, that's just my
opinion- I may be wrong (to quote Dennis Miller).
