You could have held the unlock button down as you approached the car and they started the auto-roll down.

You know how that works, right?

Yep. You can also roll them all up by putting the key in the drivers side door lock and turning and holding
in the lock position.


It may be time to resurrect one of the old 'did you know this about your GS" threads for all the new folks here

'did you know' thread would help cause the auto lock when I put the car in drive kind of bothers me.
Especially when i pull out of the garage and people have to get in.


bluelex - sorry...can't help you there. Never happened to me but wait to see if it happens again..could have been just a freak 1 time thing.

Your not crazy. The same thing has been happening to me on a off and on basis! I just ignored it thinking I probably held down the button too long at first, but then, when I would purposely check and what not, I'd still come back to the car with the windows cracked. Very Weird.

ya this has happen a couple of times, i just never mentioned it cus i thought i was crazy but when it happen again yesterday i knew i wasn't crazy. i mean its just another nice small feature that makes u want 2 always drive a lexus but than again if i park somewhere on a hot day like a beach area or mall or even the supermarket i don't feel comfortable that the windows may open a little and make it easier 4 someone 2 get in and take my stuff and run...is thier anything we can do?
