My rear window went out. It will be almost $400 to repair. This is the second time.
I am going to have to seal those things shut!!

Screw that! If it is the same window already repaired once, they would be repairing it free of charge. No excuse for that bullshi*t

I opened the door and took off the panel. Got mad and brought it in.
They just told me they are washing it.
Now I get more scratches as well.

Yeah that's what I did, unplugged the connection to lower/raise the rear window. The rear driver window pop once and I've never let it move again, also I'm not sure where I saw this but they have windows that have built in LED's. When you press a button they auto tint the windows....and you wouldn't want those to move up and down all day ither

4 wheeled car.
The Godfather, the baller of all ballers, who pays others to do his work, actually did it himself. He got the **** from the dealer for like 45 bucks, got a riveter for 10, went home, did it, and probably spent 60 bucks altogether on this gig. Now my window is sexy.

RB, not nearly as balling as Godfather, but even more adverse to mechanics, also did the job himself.

Window isn't any more sexy than before though.

I have engaged the child locks for the rear windows. What do you mean you can't roll down the window?

I have been thinking along the same lines (i.e., totally disable the rear windows). Is there a single fuse that controls both rear windows? That wouod be the ideal answer.

I took a look at the fuse diagrams of my 2003 E320 Wagon 4Matic. There are fuses for the rear windows but these fuses are also being used for other functions. Some are under the hood and a few others are under the rear seat.

What other functions, possibly powering the front two windows I'm assuming?

A bunh of items such as rear reading lamps, trunck relese, and reverse gear recognition.

So I guess the only good way is to disconnect from the window motors but that requires the removal of the door panels.
