Automatic Window Opening

Somehow the other day I manage to get all the windows to open without realising it. I must have bent over and accidentally pressed the key fob in my pocked.

I put all the windows up again, locked the car and left it. A couple of days later I took a trip in the pouring rain and started noticing a few drips from the top of the windscreen and then a few more. I then noticed some from around the edge of the sunroom blind.

It turns out that this 'window open' feature also opens the sunroof but there is nothing to warn you that the sunroof is open if the blind is closed so obviously my car had sat out in the pouring rain for a day.

What sort of imbecile designs a car without basic status information such as 'you are currently drowning your electronics and roof lining'? My Tesla tells me if I've not quite closed the door properly or left the window down as fraction.

Be warned if this ever happens to you.

Global closing does close the sunroof, but it's the last thing to shut properly with the button held. The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom Smile

Sunroof barely halfway closed when windows finish closing. I've been caught out once, but luckily, not when it was raining. Spotted the next morning when car fired up. Previous cars:
S-Max 2007-2013 (only diesel I've had, good car but expensive when diesely bits go wrong, so what's the point?)
Galaxy 2001-2007
Mondeo Estate 1997-2001
Sierra Estate 1993-1997
Uno Turbo 1987 -1993
Fiesta 1984 - 1987
Fiat 127 1982 - 1984

If I’ve auto opened I tend to then use auto close, just to make sure everything is closed, but then my sunroof blind is always open as I like the light in.

I thought it opened a bit when the sunroof opened? Never tried doing that….

Another thing I've noticed between the 3.6 and the 4.4 in respect of the gloabl open/close feature - The 3.6 required the lock/unlock to be held constantly on the keyfob until everything was open/closed. The 4.4 only needs a 3sec hold on the feyfob lock-unlock to do the job. The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom Smile

This is excellent, I was just about to go looking for a thread on this as my window mysteriously stopped working the other day. All sorted now, thanks chaps. Thumbs Up
