Third Row Windows

Just noticed that the third row windows open and close with both the open button and close button. So the open button also closes them and the close button also opens them. Not a big deal, but curious if others have noticed this? Manual states that one botton opens and the other closes.... so wondering if they were miswired, and if I even should bring up to dealer.

Yes, mine does the same thing. I did not mention it to the dealer because I dread taking the car in...everytime I find fingerprints and/or smells when I get it back.

WOW.....MoTorque, I thought I was bad on dealer but you have set the bar higher. Didn't think that was possible Kudos.

And, Slim, I didn't even notice that but will find out a bit later today

I haven't been to the third floor yet but that sounds interesting. Must check it out.

Only tried them once and I got the same. Maybe wired like that in case one switch breaks ...

Funny enough, I had a 1986 560SEL (got it used and in pretty damned good shape) and the moon roof/vent switch was one of those deals where pushing the "closed" part of either direction opened the other. IOW, if I had the moon roof open and held the switch in the "close" position, it closed the moon roof and then opened the rear vent. If the rear vent was open and I pulled down on the back of the switch (same switch) and held it, it would close the rear vent of the moon roof and then slide the whole moon roof open. The fun part was deciding whether both were closed if I didn't just tap it long enough for it to auto-close. Seems like these are slightly similar.

Now I've got to go out and see that mine does the same thing as yours. Are we like nine year olds or what?
