I open them for the kids.
I'm yet to have them open during rain .... how much rain gets in if they are open during a normal rain storm ?? (parked)
(obviously a downpour will get lots of rain in no matter whats open )

one of the few things i think they missed with this car...making them automatic would have been sawwwweeeeet. I'd love to pop them open for ventilation, but its too much of a hassle.

I like to open 'em for ventilation. And it's easy—takes two seconds. (I'm glad they're NOT power windows! Do you really want that extra weight/complexity for something so simple?)

It's a nice detail, very similar to early 911's. With the warm weather in Southern California, I have them open probably 50+% of the time as it vents the interior heat quite well while parked. Easy to close from the driver's seat as well.

In the hot weather I will open them just about always when parked (it's a newsworth event if it rains in the summer here so there's no chance of getting rain in the car) to help keep the interiour cool. I also will often leave it open to help draw air through the car from the front vents. It works very well. Leaving them open on the highway can be a bit noisy though. I usually only open the driver's side and that way I can reach back and close it at the last light before entering the highway.
