Chicago MINI Motoring Club Hi Emma! It sounds like your MINI is forgetting to pop the windows back up the last 1" or so after you close your door... If it happens again, roll the window up and then hold the window switch in the up position for about 10 seconds to reset the system. I have to do this to my '05 occasionally.
