I knew the stupid auto windows would bite me.
 

The day I first saw the retarded dipsy-doodle window thing when you open and close the door, I knew it was going to f-up and bite me.

Sure enough it ends up being one of the many documented bugs this car has; the window defaults to a lowered position when it gets cold. Not enough so that it is obvious, but enough so that water and snow can get in. Brillant piece of design engineering. Simple to re-program, but all it is going to take is missing it once.

Well, I have since done the re-program the windows gig several times since the fix was suggested, but I missed it this one time.

This is what happens..http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...t/DSC05380.jpghttp://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/...t/DSC05382.jpg


Is this car ever going to stop going from one minor annoyance to the next? Other than the handling, it is turning out to be one spectacular piece of crap.

why didn't you brush off the snow before you try to open the door?

Good thing you have weather mats.

Yeah, that could've saved a little headache.

I hope you had some flavoured syrup in the car for snow cones on the way to work!

I don't think that is from not brushing it off before he opened it. I think it stayed lowered and snow accumulated inside.

You guys don't get it, the little routine that the window does when you open and close the door? In cold weather it is designed to stay down. That's what you see in the first picture. Not all the time, but often enough.

If you don't catch it, the window is left open the small amount that you see in the first picture. If it rains or snows, you get a wet car.

You also need to train yourself to check the PS window every time.

yeah that's pretty bs.
what'd the dealer have to say regarding the water damage that is to ensue?

Wierd it was in the low 30s here and my window never stayed down...

Dealer says it was designed to do that for my own good. I should monitor it and reprogram windows as needed. Nothing wrong with car.

Interesting...I've driven my car in about 5F degree weather and I've never had this issue. That sucks it happened though

A solution I've found for that issue is keep a bottle of that spray deicer. When it's freezing outside and you know the window is going to be too cold or frozen so that when you open it it gets stuck just spray a good line of that along the window sill and give it a couple of seconds so it can seep down into it. It melts everything away and the window won't get stuck.

Wow, that really sucks! I kinda like the little squeeks and crickets on the car because it reminds me that this is an imperfect car designed for sport and the focus was on making it fun, not making it a hassle free A to B car. That said, this is unacceptable design!

Can you imagine what they'll say when the convertible version comes out? "When the car reaches a certain cold temperature, it is designed to automatically fold the roof down for your benefit." ...:bonk:

wth did you show them the damage?
hardly for your own good.
