Why did cars have these?
Discussion
Seeing a picture on the unusual car colour thread brought back something I've been meaning to ask.
Back in the 1970s and 1980s the fashion changed in car design and cars started having one piece front side windows. No quarter light: so the leading edge of the window went down in a line with the A post.
The first car we had that did this was a Chrysker Horizon.. On the door frame there was a little protrusion. See here.
I just noticed the feature on a Pirsche 928.
Other cars of that generation had then, but not all.
It appears to be outside the car and not in contact with the glass. Some sort of seal or guide? Cars don't have them now. Wonder what it was for. Any ideas?
