Heck, my grandson might enjoy that, he's a bit goofy sometimes.Put the kids in a dog crate?
Interesting, on every car I've had with manual windows, it's taken some effort to get them to move down. But I have noticed the smaller windows in 4 door vehicles move a bit more easily - still, haven't seen that..Make sure they the windows are not just slightly opening themselves. Mine would over time and I solved it by taking off the handle and putting back / re-clocking on to make sure handle weight is always pushing down to the up side motion. Hope that make sense.
Good idea, though.............. move the handles to a position they can't open themselves, or, bumping them makes them go up, not down (maybe the kids aren't doing it on purpose??)
On locks, how about installing a solenoid in the door in a way that a pin goes into the track and prevents movement? Might be a good use for aux switches?
Or get the lock motors from an older vehicle with power locks. You could easily rig them in the doors to prevent window movement.
