As the title says, I left my passenger window open overnight and awoke to find my passenger soaked by rain. Now I've got water spots all over my grey leather passenger seat.

Is there any way to get rid of the water spots?

It's not automatic, but you can shut or open all windows remotely with your key. To open the windows, just keep the door lock opening button pressed, and to shut them, keep the locking button pressed.

Also a problem with the anti trap feature can open the window even after the car is locked.

I was able to lower the windows by pressing the unlock as you said, but unable to close them... What did I do wrong?

Your not doing anything wrong...US models don't have the close feature...only the open feature, there is some stupid reason why.
