Ungrateful rear passengers!

Danielle · Post by **Danielle** » Sun Jul 10, 2005 9:38 pm

Hi all,

Why is it that all of my passengers who adorn the back seats moan moan moan all the way to wherever we're going! I'm really considerate & pull the front two seats right forward til I'm almost driving with my knees to my chin but it's still not good enough.

I've now put the windstop back in my car & for the time being declaring my car a rear passenger free zone!

Anyone else had this trouble??? :x

Yeah tell me about it, nothing but complain from people in the back. If you didn't give them a lift they would be walking or on the bus. Just remind them of this fact and meybe that will help.

Presumably this was with the roof down? Wait until you have the roof UP!! Then be preapared for some real earache!
I do what Andy says and tell them they have other options at their disposal and that they're taking up valuable space which is usually reserved for shopping

Hope you're enjoying your car though, Danielle!

Thanks, I am.

I've tried both the top up & down...better to have the top down so the wind deflects the grumbles!!!

Anyone got a solution to this design fault? The windstop won't fit in the boot, what happens if u pick some people up & need to take it off?

I'm sure the design of the windstop means that it can lie flat in the boot.

Try it at different angles but I have never had one so don't know much about tem.

As for passengers - guess why I bought a 350Z Roadster ?

I had this problem! My husband had to sit in the back with the windstop folded up but sticking up (you have to have the roof down to try this one!!) while we gave somebody a lift somewhere.

Annoying problem, just can't give anybody a lift if you want to take your windstop with you

I had the same problem with the windstop, tried everything but couldn't get it to fit in the boot with the roof down.

The one in MY MINI folds in half and packs away nicely.

I get the windstop in the boot of mine no problems. You just fold the little things down at the side.

The sides of my windstop fold down, then it fits in the boot no problem.

Other than that, point them in the direction of the nearest bus stop.

You must have thought it was a bit of a rum deal if it didn't even fit in the boot.
