Question

It was raining really hard last week and I was at somebody's office. We went to the kitchen for coffees and looked out the window, to see the downpour.

Then I noticed ALL MY WINDOWS AND MY SUNROOF WERE OPEN!!

Of course I had to act cool, and close the windows with the remote without going outside. The meeting continued for another hour before I could inspect the damage.
I can tell you, it was pretty hard to focus..

I guess the button got stuck in my pocket..
There wasn't any damage sofar though, just a lot of water everywhere..

In Europe we can open and close them with the remote.


Sorry to hear about it Fred...

Sorry to hear about your windowaction.. I will look back when I stick my key in my pocket.. I have a nice leather holder (got it for free with my car, amazing!!!!) where I can fold my key in.. Works like a charm.. I cannot push the buttons when it is in the leather key holder..

I hope your car is okay and the leather isn't damaged.. Did you dry it with a towel or something? If you sit on the seat after drying it do you still get a wet butt??? That would mean your seats are soaked..

Give them one week to solve the problem, if they are willing to install the police lights behind the grill.
