Cold Start. Why that little window on top of the top of the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet?

Anonim

Are we willing to accept a hoodless Defender, or a doorless Wrangler, but a contemporary crossover with a canvas hood? Hard to swallow. THE Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet he is a strange creature and difficult to drink, and the market treated him equally, not having bought many—his trading career was reduced to a mere three years.

However, like any other vehicle, it still has its points of interest and… mystery. For example, why does the top of the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet, in addition to the rear window, have a smaller one at the top (as you can see in the highlighted image)?

It doesn't make sense, not even for visibility or light entry… Is it just an aesthetic question? Of course not… The answer in the following tweet:

The small window is precisely where the retractable safety arches pass in the event of a rollover. Undoubtedly, the piece of plastic is easier to pass through or break than the material of the hood itself…
