    I noticed the passenger window is bigger than the driver window. Maybe not physically as a part but it does stick up higher on the passenger side than the driver's side. It's bigger by 3/4" to the rear and about 5/16" towards the front. The odd thing is that it's not just the window. It's the window frame, the metal too.

    This lends me to think it's an engineering difference in the car, or maybe one because it's hand built? I would have thought the car was perfectly symmetrical.

    I would like to ask other 360 Spider owners to check their cars and see if this holds true to the model or if it is just my car that's an oddball.

    Here is how I would like the measurements taken:

    1) Towards the front of the car, take the measurement perpendicular to the window scraper rubber up to the point where the window meets the frame.

    2) Along the rear of the window, to the inside of the Ferrari emblem, before the window starts to curve downward. The measurement should be parallel to the window edge as indicated in the picture.

    My measurements are:

    Front Driver: 12 - 5/16"
    Front Passenger: 12 - 5/8" (5/16" difference)

    Rear Driver: 12 - 15/16"
    Rear Passenger: 13 - 11/16" (3/4" difference)

    I am really curious as to how symmetrical other cars are compared to mine. My car might be an oddity. Maybe not. The rag top fits perfectly and is quiet inside. No wind sound. So I suspect it is as it should be.

    Thanks and I appreciate any help in solving this mystery.

    If you have a 360 Spider, please do the measurement, if not, then thanks for the comments.

    I measured a friend's f430'spider's windows. They are off by some. But I forgot how much.
    reason for my measurement is that the windows are leaking rain, big time.

    Your car appears to be haunted. A ghost is inside taking your photo.
    Happy Halloween.
