On friday morning I went out to the car to leave for work and noticed bith my windows were completely down. They weren't like that the night before or about half an hour before according to my boyfriend, who left for work then.
The only thing I can vaguely think of was something to do with him unlocking his car?!

Does any one have any ideas?

I have had this happen to me before. I think it was down to having my keys in my pocket and the unlock button being pressed.
Apparently its a common problem for women who keep their keys in their handbags.

I should explain that if you press and hold the unlock button it will open the windows. To shut them, put the key in the door, turn it and hold it until they are shut.
Its called comfort opening and can be unprogrammed by your dealer (for a cost).

yep and in most cases when you get far enough from the car so you dont keep unlocking it the doors will relock and the alarm will arm.
