I was originally going to use this device to pull out humid air from my car on sunny days, but the failure of the window mechanism prevented its use.
The brushed motor is very efficient. It happily starts at less than half a volt at about 10mA. The solar panel looks like a 2V 100mA type.

    VW? You can buy the cables and spool separately. I would be slightly worried about giving a thief a headstart by making that little gap at the top of the window.
