I have been completely unable to find anyone who can give me a answer for this - the other day I came home to find the driver's window on my 2003 Acura RSX down. At first I thought a thief has broken in. However, my alarm was still active, there were absolutely no marks of any kind on the door, window, ignition, or steering column - and all my valuables in the car were still there. The window also would not roll back up. (the motor was working, but it made a clanging sound - also the window itself was not broken) I can't begin to explain this, as the car was never on (the window shouldn't even work without the car on/auxilliary) and it does not seem to be the work of an attempted theif. Have you ever heard of such a thing happening? Is it possible for an electrical malfunction to open a window while the car is off? Why would the window not roll back up?

I am currently having the car repaired, but Acura has not been able to provide any type of explanation. Any input is appreciated!

the gear on the motor could be broken and gravity take care of roll it down and with the gear broken the motor can`t roll back up the window....

Sound as a good guess?.
