Default Very odd thing happened..

I came out to my car this morning, which was still locked, to find that both the front windows had competely lowered themselves overnight. I was somewhat freaked out and concerned by this, anyone else heard of anything similar happening??

(Lucky the people who live near me are honest!)

This happened to me about 6 months ago, luckly the car was in my garage.

Forgot to set the alarm that night, also the central door locking was trying to unlock/lock the doors every couple of secs?

Can only think it was damp as I had washed the car the previous afternoon!

I'm sure this has been mentioned before...

Perhaps K, Ross or 1 of the other Techies can help...

Can it just happen by itself then or does it have to be triggered by something?

There have been reports of it in the past. Usually only happened once or twice without any cause. The convenience units are not the best designed...
