Interesting as I came out one morning to find the rear passenger left window down 2 inches. Fairly sure all were up

Thanks - sounds like the same. It happened twice last week both during really heavy rain. Do you remember if it was raining? How long have you have had yours?

As has been mentioned elsewhere the most likely cause is you catch the oversensitive window buttons as you exit the car.

Thanks Ian - that's what I thought the first time. I'm pretty sure I checked before the second time it happened. I'll keep an eye on it

One of the methods to avoid ignore false-press of window buttons: turn the whole car OFF through the "Power off" button on the "Safety" screen, then turn off the radio itself (5 sec press on the "Home" button), and THEN check all the windows.

Or open the door and get out, then pull all the switches up before you close the door.

There was extensive discussion of this quite recently, but I can't find the thread. If someone tells me, I'll do a merge.

Yeah, this is what I have got into the habit of doing, especially when having passengers.
