Two problems related to side/rear glass have been reported for the 1997 Chevrolet Astro. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When driving and a big truck passes the Astro and the rear side quarter window shut all by itself, when the window is opened the lock on the window is adjusted so that the window could stay open. But for some reason when something heavy winded comes by like a big truck, the window would shut without any notice. The owner states that there are children that sit back in the rear of the Astro, and that this is dangerous for the window to shut like this.
Side windows that push out do not stay out while driving. They will shut due to the pressure of the wind. Dealer has been contacted.
