    I can’t figure how to open my upper window in my Volvo 780. In the Cascadia I used to drive it was easy to open with a knob but this one has a lever in the bottom and it’s really hard to move it and I’m kind of scared the window is going to fall out if I do. Can this window be opened or is it just to be used for emergency egress? From the outside it looks like there is a vent underneath each window. Is this functional or is it just for looks?

    So there’s a twist involved? I just tried to slide the lever and it was like it was fixed in place and I was scared to put more force into it.

    The vent is the only thing that opens. The window itself does not open.

    Post a picture of what window you’re talking about?
    If it’s the top bunk one or the bottom one in a 780 then you twist the knob!
    If it’s. 670 you twist the top bunk one still but the bottom one will be a push lever.

    Never seen a Volvo 780 where the top windows didn’t open.

    The 780 I drive does not have top windows that open. It's a vent with a lever that goes up and down. Up position has a C, down position has an O.
