Windows accidently open
 

well, this morning, after heavy rain last night, my front windows were half opened, and the back a bit less, all leathers are soaked wet...now drying the car....car was locked,

I locked the car as I usually do and put the key away on a shelf....

Its my third X5 since my 2001, and it happened before on my 2007

dealer said there is no reported problem of that nature, and blame it on my accidental pressing on the key..thats supposed to open windows...

first...does this happened to you?
second, do you have a trick to dry the leather without damaging it and keep its look?

thks

It has happened to me several times. Luckily never during a rain. When parking the car X5 for the night I now immediately take my key out of my pocket and put them on the bathroom counter. It has not happened to me since I have been doing that.

Chuck

It's happened to me before. Once I was catching for my daughter who was practicing her pitching. I squatted down and all the windows opened up. Another time I was carrying a package as I held it against my legs, and the same thing happened.

I get it too
 

just another fault to log in the BMW exit statement when I flick my X5 for quality ...

I have heard of some BMW's with comfort access doing this when it rains. That is why I did not opt for CA when I ordered my X

Sorry to hear of this...the multiple reports here from others (which I recalled reading over the years) was one of my major gripes with CA. Unfortunately I am stuck with it as it is now a standard feature with a pkg I ordered...fortunately the car generally is in a garage.

I am particularly disgusted with BMW blaming the owners...

I'd make BMW fix it, replace the interior, etc

good news, they found a defective hatch mechanism that was sending wrong message....could be caused by heavy rain as water gets into door...they have replaced it
at least, thats what I am told!!!!!:thumbup:

they replace the defective hatch mechanism? how about your leather seats?

YES- what about the leather, the wet carpet padding, the mold, the decay, the hidden damage....

The entire interior might need replacing at a cost of $$thousands

I will be picking up the car today...I need to see if they will do something, if they took the parts apart to dry them ....another battle!!!
