So I got woke by my neighbour on Wednesday Morning telling me my windows were all down. It rained most of the night too. The car was soaked. I rang Seat direct when they opened as I've given up on Listers (whole other thread). They suggested getting the AA to come check it.
AA man arrives (who only deals with seats) - gets hooked upto the car. Very kindly demonstrates how awesome his software had full control of the car. Ran his diagnostics and no faults found. He did identify, very precisely, a airbag arm fault in October last year. Whatever he did was very thorough obviously. He pondered it a bit and went and got an RF checker. He claims and showed me that a certain satellite dish next door but one pumps out enormous amounts of very strong RF. Enough he claimed that by the strength and some fluke that it has sent an open window command identical to my key.
Thoughts?
The key was in an empty bedside table draw all night. So I've not caught it or activated in error. There are other threads in earlier Ibiza/leon forums about this very issue usually root cause is water ingress. The Seat AA guy I mentioned this potentially known issue too said water ingress would have showed up as a dodgy circuit. The RF issue does seem a potential too especially from taxi cabs using that frequency illegally or a random signal from a skyeye (TV sender).
The cars fine in reality I've dried and dried it and will be running up the heat every time I get chance. I've got a case open with seat already re a couple little niggly issues. I'll be asking for some assurances this is a one off.

Shot in the dark here, maybe an exorcism is in order
