Good eye seeing those sliding windows, but I dont know whats up with them either. I acually have another question spawned upon reading part of the article legible in one of the pictures. It said "the doors are counterbalanced using cryogenically pre-set stainless steel torsion bars". Whats up with this stainless still bit? There was a short discussion I brought up a few months ago about this, and I thought it was settled that the torsion bars were regular steel. I looked at mine, and sure enough, it looks like there is a tad bit of surface rust on small parts of them. This almost has me concerned though, if the torsion bars will rust, wont that pose a safety hazard considering the power stored in them? So perhaps we could get an "offical" word on the construction of the torsion bars. Are they regular, or stainless?
