Closed partition window certainly would raise questions.
We do know that a fragment cracked the interior of the windshield, and there's the dent in the chrome above the rearview mirror and I believe damage to a visor that's pretty conclusive evidence that fragments did indeed make it to the front of the limo.
Although I'm not sure that the photo posted definitively shows a completely closed partition window, it sure does appear to be closed in the area between Nellie and the driver.
Of course it's possible that the window might have been opened after the posted photo was taken.
I'm guessing additional photographic evidence of the status of the window immediately before the assassination might be found in film of the limo as it is on Houston approaching Elm, during the assassination in Zapruder, and post assassination in photos of the limo taken at Parkland.
Perhaps there's testimony about the window somewhere in the WCR ?
In any event, good post and something new to consider.

Thank you for the kind words Howard. I spent a few hours searching for motorcade pictures. I found 3 that may be pertinent. However the last 2 contradict each other. Could the partition window be easily removed at Parkland?
This one shows an opening of about 2 inches on the right:
This one shows the damage above the area of the rear view mirror, but also two possible holes in the upper left corner of the partition:
This one indicates extensive damage of the partition:
Steve Taylor:
Thanks Mark. Here's some more. Compare picture 1 to 2.
Howard Gee:
After viewing the assorted photos posted above, I'm of the opinion that we're seeing varying types of partitions with windows that open and close differently.
Some appear to move horizontally and can't be completely opened, while the partition employed in the limo used on 11/22/63 might have windows that open and close vertically.
Do we know with certainty how the partition windows in the assassination limo operated ?

The photos appear to show that the window is in two parts, in which case they would open horizontally, as if the window operated vertically, it would not have ben made in two pieces.
Howard Gee:
If they moved horizontally, then it would be impossible for the partition to ever be more than half open.
I'm not sure of this, but my guess is the window(s) in the partition used on 11/22/63 opened and closed vertically.
