Does anyone else have these windows in there Parker? I am looking for some ideas to make the windows open out wider. Right now they open fairly wide but i would like it if they opened up a little more. The only way I thought of so far is making the bracket that they open up on longer. Just looking to see if anyone modified these to open out wider, any info would be great! Thanks!

Contacted them,and they said those control arms are made by taco metals, and taco metals only provides them with one length. So i tried to contact taco metals and they were not much help, basically the guy told me he kind of understands what im talking about and that i can email a picture to there customer service dept and they can take a look, and then hung up before giving me the email address. Amazing in this tough economy businesses still don't want business apparently
 
Just remove the bracket from the window, take it to any machine shop and tell them to copy the design but make it 8" longer.
 
Can you move the mount up the window some. It would give the window slightly less support but should allow it to open more
 
Yea that is a possibility thats what the guy at wyne recommended, like good chance said i might also contact a friend who is a machinist and see if he can copy it and make it a little bigger. Thanks for the responses
 
My windows are wynne as well and my mounts are higher. The window will actually open too far and my windshield wiper will get stuck in the open position. When running in rougher seas I tend to close them down some anyhow. This makes the less support less of an issue
