Not to belabor this, but the reason I didn't use a tarp is I don't have one handy, and the reason I didn't use a bag is (a) I could easily cover it with painters tape, and (b) I don't like putting anything between the door and the seals even temporarily. If the window was all the way down, instead of just a couple of inches, I wouldn't have had any choice.

The reason for the OP was to see if there was some way to raise the window without the key (I had a bavaria with access and a crank for its windows just like we have for the sunroofs). I guess other than removing the door card and "hot wiring" the motor, that isn't an option.

I was really tempted to let it get wet just to make the point but we all know who would have ended up dealing with the resulting issues!

Thanks all!
