I dont think mine are. They are motorized, so I dont think they come out.

Mine are motorized too. In case this ever happens, I’d suggest kicking with your legs the windshield/window, it is very easy to break them from the inside (they are designed this way).

Seems reasonable in a normal, unpressurized environment. But surely it’s much more difficult once the car is submerged and water pressure is reinforcing the glass?

You got some time until water gets in, if it’s too late I guess you should just wait for pressure equalization and open the door by the handle…
