So now I'm really worried, because I'm sure some of those over-wing exits are only a little larger than the window, but the 3' x 4' (ish) trim panel is attached on the interior side. I think in some cases, the trim panel won't fit even diagonally.

I guess this would be obvious when you pulled the handle, but it could slow the exit process if somone tried unsuccesfully to put the door thru the hole.
