Window Rolls Down Overnight — Anyone else?

Does anyone else have one of their windows roll down over night? It's happened about 5 times in the past 6 months.

The one particular window is often a nuisance and won't stay rolled up when using the button; probably a dozen times. I've done the "re-learning" a couple times and then it behaves for a few more weeks. I can handle that, even though it's annoying, but every once in a while this same window will *be closed*, I turn the car off and walk away and it's *still closed*, and then in the morning I come out and it's rolled down.

I'm not exactly sure the dealer will look at a perfectly functioning window when I take it in, and decide to replace whatever it is that needs replacing.

While owners of most of these are experiencing an immediate roll-down (and have the reset work until it doesn't), maybe some of these tips can save you a trip to the dealer? Super inconvenient bug, especially if it does it while not in a garage.

This happened to me several times, if it's the same issue... My observations were that it was happening to the passenger front window. What I discovered was that it was opening to the halfway point after shutting the door. I had thought it was happening on it's own overnight like you're saying. Nobody noticed because the passenger wasn't looking back when closing the door.

I think it's a screwy sequence of events that triggers the windows to go nutty. For example, almost every time if I press both back window buttons and then release to auto close and press the front windows to close - the front windows would stop halfway while the back windows would continue to roll up. When this would happen I would have to do the windows reset thing. Driver side down 5 secs, up 5 secs, down 5 secs. and then up 5 secs for good measure.
