When parked in your garage at home do you leave your windows up or down?

When pulling in I put the windows down more so to be aware of noises and more comfortable pulling in or out. So, I just leave mine down.

Down. Easier to open the door if your battery goes dead. Can lean over and access the console storage compartment without opening door. Easier to get in and out of car.

Up! Rural area and varmints! Varmints do just fine in urban areas too.

Always down , not sure why just a habit, even on the daily drivers if they are in the garage down they go

I always put the top up and windows up when parked. I also always lock my doors in both cars, even in the garage.

I do put the windows down when I back out since mine are tinted and I can see out the mirrors better if they are down. If it's a nice day, top goes down too before backing out.

Always up. Keeps the dust off my interior and possible critters. The power window motors will have a shorter life if you keep opening and closing the windows

I never roll my windows down on any of my vehicles, don't like the streaks it creates.

Always up. Less dust. Also I live in a area with a lot of sand and just one grain stuck in the weatherstrip will leave a nasty scratch so I almost never roll the windows down except to take the top off.

Up interior stays cleaner this way.

And I have my windows up 100% of the time while driving. Just calmer and quieter.

Up but I leave the driver side window down about half an inch to avoid unnecessary window "indexing". I figure all that up-down (even that small amount) will eventually wear out something, guides, motor so why take a chance. Just the obsessive-compulsive in me I guess...

Up. Keeps the interior clean. I use the notch in the doorsill to route the cord for my battery charger, so no need to keep the windows down or even cracked.

Always up. I put a cover on my car every time it is parked to protect it from neighborhood cats (at least until I can catch them all and drop them off at the pound), and it keeps the interior cleaner.

Always down - I cover the car if it sits for more than a week so that keeps dust down to a minimum, if a critter is going to get in they are coming from underneath 99% of the time so no fear their, FWIW I normally have the roof out as well and it stays out.
So much more fun for me to enjoy an open air car

Down a lot of the time, usually in the summer I'm driving with the top off and the windows down so I just leave them that way. Windows up and top on at work though, we get dust in the parking lot and there are birds around. We have a guy with a C5 and one with a T-top Trans Am that leave the tops off in the work parking lot. I can't bring myself to do that. So normally drive in top off windows down and get to work and put the top on and windows up.

Windows are always down, whether the top is up or down. Trunk is always open. I need access to the inside too often between trips to keep it closed and locked.

I leave them down, to let the car breath from heat rising from car, plus if battery ever goes dead, easy excess to the battery. Two years it happened, dead battery, quick jump, and off to buy battery.

Depends, since my vet is parked in the left hand side of a tighter garage, and having the drivers window down make is easy to get in it since I can only open the drive door about half way open.

If the car is going to be stored for the winter, then the windows are up to keep dust/winter critters out of the vet , and I will deal with it being slightly harder to get in the vet with the window up as I pull it back out of storage for the winter.

Yup.

Always up. Squirrels and chipmunks and mice, birds in the garage, dust, every number of reasons. Also, if your garage door is open and your windows are down, anyone could just come along and steal anything out of your car.

Windows up for me so that dust and dirt don't get in.
