windows roll down by themselves?

Hi a few weeks ago I started to notice that my windows would roll down by themselves. Sometimes it would just crack open but other times it would be fully down. Scenario: come home roll up windows, lock doors, the usual but wake up next morning and the windows are both rolled down. It's always both sides as well. Anyone know why this is happening?

Since we're doing random, senseless requests... try rubbing your stomach with circular motions with your right hand while rubbing the top of your head in circular motions with your left hand while hopping on one leg... let's make it the left leg!

(I'd check the remote though)

If you press and hold the UNLOCK button on your remote it will lower your windows.

Check your remotes

Is it raining or wet outside? I had this problem with my old car but I had an aftermarket alarm. It was because the motor got wet a bit so it kept forcing it down on it's own.

That is weird that I found this thread because I just had this happen to me last night... I'm not sure how it happened but all my windows were down this morning and it had been snowing - not good!!!

I tried to hold down my unlock on my remote but it wouldn't roll the windows down, weird.

Check the left door lock actuator. If it fails it's possible it may act as if someone used the key in the door lock cylinder to open the windows. When the windows are down are the doors already unlocked?

I think the remote window feature can be disabled if you wanted to just eliminate the symptom
