"Then an item that is expected to get a lot of physical mechanical use (driver door lock) can eventually cause windows to open in a rainstorm, and stay open. The real irony is when the rain soaks the control unit for that system located...on the floor."

To your point- let me add this tidbit to the panic I was experiencing with the passenger window stuck down and rain starting to fall that I did not mention......Amusing now- but yesterday not so much!

It just so happened....I had the the carpet back and wood fuse/relay circut cover removed and out of car because we had been testing the ECUs for an idling problem the evening before. So all of those electronics were wide open. I was watching a literal "Perfect Storm" unfold and freaking out! Luckily I had a couple towels in the back seat and threw them over the fuse/relay board and pulled under cover of a gas station before anything got wet!
