electric windows

Button-operated car glass

Electric windows are car windows that open and close by motor rather than manual crank.

The driver's door typically has controls for all windows, with a lock to prevent passengers from operating theirs.

Standard in most vehicles since the late twentieth century: The kids kept playing with the electric windows until I locked them.
