Electric windows - found all mine half open one day. Nother time they were all right down but the car still locked. Its a VW feature who would want. Hold the key button on (or sit on it) and that's what happens. If I accidentally UNLOCK the car it re-locks after a while - but not the windows!
My 1990 Subaru had electric windows, fine, you pressed the button and the window opened to where you wanted it. Not now, its a battle of up down fully open/closed etc. to get the back windows just open a tad for ventilation and probably a bad swerve while you look round to make sure they're not wide open. The windows are programmed to go anywhere but where you want them. It was easier to reach behind and turn the old handle a quarter turn and no swerve.
