I am not sure if the problems are in my mind or real, but here goes
Is there a way to roll up the windows from the inside of the car without the AC going on? On most cars turning the key to accessory position one or two works.

When using the key in the door " feature" to roll up the windows I noticed all the back windows go up all the way and close yet the front drivers window remains about 5 inches still open passenger window is left open by an inch, I find myself having to re-insert key and hold it again to finish closing the front windows, is this behavior normal?

When driving I can hear a whine type noise at greater than 40 mph, if I let off the gas pedal the noise goes away, as soon as I touch the gas the noise comes. Also, perhaps unrelated there is some sort of faint gargling/ whoosing noise behind the center dash area when I accelerate.

Thanks,

 

The only way I know to get all the windows up with the car off is the key method. They will roll up all the way as long as you hold the key turned. As soon as you let go and the key returns upright, the windows will stop rolling up.

I'm assuming you're referring to the engine whine. The K24 produces a nice high-pitch whining noise that is engine-speed dependent. If you have an automatic, depending on the road noise etc. it may be more noticeable around 40mph. Try listening closely with the windows down driving around town. I have a 6MT and hear it in every gear. I dig it.
