Rear window at the top on both sides. common problem apparently they didn't use enough glue
Thanks for that, I'll give mine an inspection to make sure they look well glued. It's not the kind of problem you want popping up with an out of warranty car.
On a side note, are those windows purely there for looks? They are useless for checking your blind spot, but I guess they let a little more light into the cabin.
Actually in these VE utes, especially with a humped hardcover, it's more like a blind area. Much larger than a 'spot'.
But with how nice they look, it's worth putting up with. :)

I may not be reading your post properly, but I'm kinda unsure if you got the maloo or not :unsure:

How tall are you? I'm 6'0" and find I really need to move around in the seat to see out the blind spots. (drivers side is the worst, obviously)

Test drove a nice Maloo, Unsure on black but its a damn nice car. Only this time :boxing:
Ooooh. Very sexy looking. I test drove a couple of Maloo's before I settled on my SSV instead. They go very hard and look amazing. The insurance excess was what killed it for me. I could have just scraped by owning one, but I knew if I pranged it and had to pay that extra "performance vehicle" excess I would be entering debt territory. But if you want to talk about poor visibility, Maloo's must win some of kind of prize with those sailplanes and massive hardlid humps. lol.
Again though, who gives a sh*t? The car looks so good it's worth it, and you just indicate for a second or two before changing lanes, put your right foot down, and then make the move. They get up and go so quick that no one could still be sitting in your blind spot after a stab of the loud pedal.
