Most often found on older vehicles on the front doors, it is a small roughly triangular glass in front of and separate from the main window that rotates inward (see top right image) for ventilation. This window may be set on hinges and is then also known as a vent window, wing window, wing vent window, or a fly window.

Quarter glass is also sometimes called a valence window. In some cases, the fixed quarter glass may set in the corner or "C- pillar" of the vehicle. Quarter glass (or quarter light) on automobiles and closed carriages may be a side window in the front door or located on each side of the car just forward of the rear-facing rear window of the vehicle.

Pull the plastic taut to the bottom of your car window and tape it to the inside of your car door as close to the window opening as possible.

Next, pull the plastic taut across to the top outside edge (farthest from your car) and repeat the process, being sure that the tape is securing the plastic to the rubber window sill. Be sure to secure the tape under the rubber window sill for a good fit and tight seal.
