While driving my windows go down when driving without a notice, this can be safety issue when I'm driving, also can be a distraction far as safety goes, this happens often without notice and allows the rain to enter inside my vehicle.

Went to put my top up on mercedes cabriolet parked in my driveway. With the key on and the vehicle turned off, in park, parking brake on, pressed closure button. During closure headrests began to raise. Not a sudden pop up kind of raising, but a slow, steady raising, as if I had my hand on the button to raise them, yet I did not. It's on the dash, and I was the only one in the car, and had no items in the car either. For the record, while female, I grew up racing cars, have changed my own engine, turbo, transmission, shocks, springs, etc. These two seat and top processes are mutually exclusive…
