Need an explanation?????

[Chrishazle]

Sending my S63 in for maintenance at the factory today. Checked up on Mercedes-me to check whether the job was done. They were definitely working on it since the doors and windows were unlocked and open. Please educate me as to the rationale for the open windows. This is something I observed last year, so it must have some significance. Any thoughts, fellas???????
Loaner vehicle was a brand-new CLA 200, which is zippy but too sporty for me. It features a "gauge" in the middle of the cluster that displays mpg and a charging area, however the latter only activates when the driver is coasting downhill with their foot off the accelerator. I have no idea what role it plays. I was afraid they could have handed me a battery-operated gadget. I wish I could have at least tried one out for a day, but I have no desire to acquire one. Gasoline is the fuel of the future.

Could reduce the potential for glass breakage. In the Fire Brigade, this was standard procedure.
Maybe the mechanics were taking a break from work and played a game that included climbing through your windows.😉

Could this be the norm to prevent getting your car keys locked inside?

[Allan8932]

Perhaps it's waiting for the inside to stop smelling like McDonald's, KFC, Subway, burned rubber, or overheated discs and pads before signaling that it's ready for pickup after a thorough examination and a good warm-up.

Or, to prevent the frameless window glass from being damaged during construction.

Because I didn't notice until 2020, it's possible that it was caused by Covid, which is on the rise once again, but it's happened both times I've taken mine in for service at separate dealerships.

Maybe not the heels, but I saw what looked like marks on the carpet from them.

Beau Duke and Luke Duke were reportedly recently employed by your primary dealer to work as MG technicians. That may be the reason.

They should have checked references since they have been in legal issues from birth.

It's presumably so the key can be reached more easily or so there's more space to get in and out when they place the vehicle on a two-post lift.

[Geek2232]

That's how many doors they throw open.

[VWDaveBMW]

Maybe I'm missing something, but why would anybody care if the windows were down in the vehicle when it was at the dealership?

[VWDaveBMW]

I'm not 100% sure, but I'd think that it displays the vehicle's gas mileage and charging speed.
I welcome any rebuttals to my assumptions.

Once upon a time, my friends and I would jump out of the windows of my Fiat 126 (the "Mean Machine") and inform passers-by that the doors had been welded shut to increase rigidity and so enhance the vehicle's handling.

And make a new topic about it.
