[V8] Window down

[Ed Kellock]

That reminds me... when I have a window switch that won't cooperate, I can
usually get it to do it's thing by holding the down side down and without
letting go, press down on the up side of the switch, rocking it all the way
to that position.  Something about this gets it to make contact and roll up
the window.

Rather than pressing it harder, just try pressing it repeatedly.  The right
rear window in my silver car would go down, but not up.  I tapped the switch
a bunch and every once in a while it would make contact and I was able to
inch it up (eventually).

I think we still say "roll" them up or down, partly as a throwback to a time
when that was more true (English has a lot of words/sayings like this), but
also because it is still technically true.  Even though we're hitting a
switch, there's still a motor that is turning and rolling the window up/down
for us.  :D
