I've done this twice. My fishing rods in the back of the station wagon with the rod tips up near my driver's side seat headrest and the reels near the tailgate. It's warm out and I lower the driver's side back window and don't notice the rod slides over and the tip sticks out the window. Get to the spot, park, hit the power window button for the drivers side rear window and hear crrrrrrunch. Yepper that 7 foot walleye rod is now a 6 footer and missing some guides on the end. Slipbob's golden rule don't let your pole hang out of the rear car window and forget about that when you roll your window up.
Was striper fishing and caught a blue fish, not thinking I lip grab him OUCH
