Transit Ford quarter light glass is situated on the door. Quarter light glass is often triangular in shape but can be come in various shapes depending on the make, model and year of car. This window can be hinged, enabling it to open inwards, and is sometimes referred to as a vent window, allowing a small amount of air in, to ventilate the car. Quarter light glass on some cars may, instead, be fixed in place, forming a side window that doesn't open.

- Before national speed limits were introduced in the UK, the engineers for Ford would often be spotted carrying out late-night speed tests in a Ford Transit. The police would occasionally stop them, not to hand out a fine but to check on the progress of the team.
