    They do, but only in the front.

    The only reason to use the button is that when you press it, it lowers the window slightly so that it clears the door trim when you open it (the windows are frameless).

    Although, I don’t see why that couldn’t have been integrated into a single mechanism rather than having two separate controls for the same function.

      Absolutely terrible design if the window needs to be lowered on a frameless door before it can be opened.

      My 2007 Subaru Impreza had frameless windows that don’t have this problem. The window makes a pressure seal against a gasket that does not impede the operation of the door in any way.
