Question 3rd Gen - rear window goes down by itself!

During the last 3 weeks, we have had a bunch of rain here. The wife parked the 4R in a parking lot and went shopping and when she came back, the rear window was all the way down! This has happened twice now.
It's gotta be some electrical short, but anybody have any idea where to start looking?
Thanks

Is she pushing the button on the remote perhaps and doesn't know it in her purse or pocket?

If it only happens when it rains then I would look at the keyhole in the rear door.

If you do a search I think you will find that this is a somewhat common issue with 3rd gens. The easy fix is to make sure that you have the button locking all of the windows from the driver seat pushed. I believe that it is a known electrical short somewhere, but that it is expensive to have repaired.

this is correct, it is a glitch, with a real fix to change ecu or some crazy expensive item. however like stated to avoid this depress the window lock switch.
