I can't imagine a 124 car doing this though as there is no auto-up position. There is a auto down position so I could see them doing an auto down. And after my BMW experience I suppose I could have missed such a key operated window operation as I would have no time for it as a function anyway (I presume the function is to allow all the hot air out of a parked car - I ain't got time for that).
I'll try our shop 1991 wagon on Monday, now that you got me all excited.

Thanks! It is kind of exciting, isn't it, to find a "new" feature like this. I found out quite by accident on my car, since I don't believe it's in the owner's manual. The thing that makes it tricky is that to close the windows when you lock the car, you actually have to turn the key to the UNLOCK position and hold it there for a second or two, and only then will it allow you to close the windows by turning the key to LOCK (and holding it there).
In any event, my friend's car's problem is that the windows OPEN when the key is in the lock position -- it's bass ackwards.
