Default Windows all open!

Hi Folks

Came down this morning. found car sitting with all 4 windows down and the alarm going off!

It was left locked and with the windows up.

It wasn't raining, but water was seen on the seats, so the windows had clearly been open for a while.

Why would it do this weird thing?

(since found out the alarm only went off when my wife stuck her arm in)

Depends where the keys were! My wife has managed to do this by putting stuff in her bag on top of the keys so the unlock button was held down, making the windows open all round the car. Eventually the doors will relock if not opened but the windows stay open.....the alarm will then go off in its own little weedy way!

Mine does that fairly often when I have the keys in my pocket while wearing "the wrong trousers".

Thanks Guys.

So I must have been wearing 'the wrong trousers'?

I left it for two days, please to see windows still up when I returned.

Are these cars of this world? I sometimes wonder.....
