I have to say that I don't know why the current operation would be a problem in freezing or rainy weather, it hasn't caused me any bother over the last 2.5 years. Why would you remove the key from the ignition if you aren't getting out?

Went out to car at lunch time & unlocked with the plipper, both windows dropped slightly... no problem there, got in and shut my door, my window shuts instantly, no problem there... then suddenly a load of water (obviously pooled on the roof) pours in the passanger door window!! The problem being that because no one got in the passanger side and shut the door, the window that side took a couple of seconds to shut, allowing time for a cup full of water from the roof to pour in!! I have now set the key to just unlock the drivers door with one press in the hope that this cant happen again. Obviously when I let a passanger in (using two key presses) the window that side should close instantly when they shut the door! This doesn't solve the problem of the passanger window also dropping when the ignition is turned off, but obviously at the end of a journey any water pooled on the roof should be gone!
I've just had the same bloody thing happen about 3 or 4 times. When I get in on the drivers side, as my fat ass shakes the car as I land in the drivers seat, water pours in through the opening on the passenger window. Not good!

Don't suppose anyone found a fix for the ignition window drop?
