Why did cars have these?

Land Rover Discovery 300tdi's still have that little bit produced up until like 1998 or something.

No idea what its for though

Lots of defenders still have them and it's because once you're traveling more than about 20mph the air going past the car pulls the windows out slightly so if you try and close them whilst move they don't go back into the crease at the top and unless you pull it in with your little finger you have to wait until you're stationary to do it.
Both of our defender 130s on the farm have them missing and it's a PITA when you forget.

You sure Defenders have these?

Yep, I'll even take a photo for you tomorrow, ours are both ex-army (iirc) 130 double cab pickups so they might be slightly different to the civilian version but of the 3 I've seen with the newest being ~2005 they all had them.
