whats wrong with passenger electric window?

I have a mitsubishi carisma 1.8 glx auto, when I came to the car this morning the passenger side front electric window had opened. I know it was closed last night, what could have caused it to open? I've closed the window and the window seems to move fine, in that it opened and closed with no problems.

Update:

I had definately closed the window, i know that for 30 seconds after you have turned the ignition off in the car you can still move the electric windows. there was no sign that anyone had tampered with it. only thing I can think of is that I caught the passenger window button when I got out the car.

    Very strange, when the ignition is turned of there is no power to the windows, thus it is impossible for the windows to open with the key removed. Sounds to me like somebody has had a go at your car, run the window up and down a few times and see if there is any "Tightness" in the open close run.

    Ja.

    I'd suspect that it was either tampered with or you did, in fact, forget to close it after all (done it myself). The circuitry for the electric windows is dead until the key is switched on.

    assuming you did close it. i had a vw passat and when you locked the car the rear drivers side window opened. the fault

    could be the car or your memory youll have to wait and see

    even however u can nevertheless pay attention the motor, thats ur concern! The twine that comes out of the motor and connects to the tracks in all probability snapped or got here undone, yet maximum possibly it snapped. Take the panel off lower back and notice if the twine remains linked. i'm able to assure thats ur concern.
