Again I'm talking about the drivers door rear window switches. Looking through it more, it looks like that's the way its designed. It only put the windows up. Also when the rear window are down and you flip the switch up and let go, it'll roll up all the way close. It does not stop when you let go. I see that as a safety hazard! Someone could have their hand or head out the window..
Auto-up has been a BMW feature for years on all the window lifts. You can Google for the list of window-induced fatalities and amputations. There are none. The movement stops if the glass is impeded. Check it out for yourself (but, to be on the safe side, use something other than a body part for your experiment).
