[V8] Window down

[Kent McLean]

Oy! In an unusual turn of events, my A4 was in for service, so I had to take the 
V8 down to Boston, to Fenway Pahk, for a hockey game. Gotta love New England. :)

I hit the firs toll booth, hit the window button, but it was the right rear 
window. Oops. Roll [1] down the front, pay the toll, roll up the front, and 
tried to roll up the rear -- nada. Pounded on the switch. Tried the child lock 
up and down. Nada. Tried the switch in the rear door. Nada.

So I drove the 75 miles with a nice fresh breeze in the car. Temps down in the 
teens (F), following by sitting outside for 3 hours watching my team lose the 
hockey game, followed by an even colder ride home, I wasn't happy. The car is 
sitting outside with the window open.

So, today, with temps still in the teens, I get to remove the armrest, remove 
the switch, and put juice to the wires to get the window back up. Then I'll 
leave the switch disconnected so the window won't go down. Sigh.

[1] If the windows are powered, why do we say we "roll" them up and down? I 
haven't used a window crank in years.
