Default Windows opening on their own

The windows and moonroof on my RX300 are all opening on their own. I know the fob button does this, but I've taken the car to work with both sets of keys and it's happening just the same. I have to believe it's the car and not the keys. I read somewhere that the battery can mess with the power windows.... I noticed the clock on the dashboard keeps losing time... any connection?

Any suggestions or experience that might help greatly appreciated.

How old is your battery? If more than 5 years old, you should replace it.

That clocking losing time is symptomatic of dying battery like vanguy mentioned. This happened to me (though I can't remember an issue with the windows...this was five years ago) and I had the battery replaced under the 4 year/50K mile warranty.
