    I'm pretty sure the windows stop when they sense an obstruction.

    i'm pretty sure the "rain closing" function, set via maxidot (comfort menu), is different to "auto wipers" function, set via the wiper stalk.

    for the rain-closing to function, if activated, the car needs to be parked & locked. it won't work while ur driving, nor will it activate the wipers. the only relation is that they share the same sensor to detect rain & how much.
    if ur dog's melons, or other bits, r sticking out the window, as brad mentioned, it will detect an obstruction and stop. presuming ur dog hasn't drooled over the car, the rain will then proceed to drench the inside of ur car!

    for the auto wipers to work cause the guy infront of u broke a sweat in his car, u need to set the wiper stalk to position 1. having the "rain closing" turned on won't trigger this.

    rosie - do u know u can "adjust" the sensitivity of the auto-wipers by adjusting the dial thingy ontop of the wiper stalk. towards the left = least sensitive; towards the right = very sensitive. i've got mine set 1 left from the middle.
    seems 2 b well behaved there.

    So many things I'm learning about the old banger on this forum. I knew about the windows closing in the rain, but not opening / closing using remote. That's handy.
    I also have auto wipers coming on in bright sunshine sometimes (I lean towards the lower sensitivity settng). They need to work on them a bit.

    I hate it when the auto wipers come on when the winscreen is a bit dirty / greasy. Makes a bloody mess.
