Question out of curiosity (your passengers)

Do any of you notice passengers struggling with the power windows? I notice that many passengers press the window button the wrong way many times and end up asking "how does this work?" lol. It's fine to me, but this is our car so we easily adjust but I just wanted to see if any of you received comments from your passengers or notice them struggling to open their windows.

Another round of ICE
Never had comments on power windows, but power door lock switch location remains a challenge for some, not that it's illogical, but it just blends in too much.

Good I like that because I don't need my passengers opening the doors into traffic.

Until a few years ago, most power window switches were the push/pull type. There was a small danger of children sticking there little heads out the window and then pushing the switch...not good. Anyhow, I am not sure if it is a law or not, but I believe all manufacturers now use the press down/pull up switches.
It may simply be related to what kind of car your passanger usually drives or rides in.

+1 and my passengers are not allowed to roll my windows down... They can't even talk louder than my radio unless I give them permission...

What are you talking about? Push/pull?? Press down/pull up??

I doubt that I have ever seen a window switch that wasn't a rocker switch.
