I've tried using my hand on my power window. It'll auto retract to some distant when it got 'jammed' with my hand.

 

Quite sensitive and I dun feel any pain.

Nothing to do with the model of the car.

Just take precaution when child on board.

The report mention the power window force is about

52kg. You put a cucumber in between it will chop into

two pcs

Actually the auto up power window does not exist in all Korean cars except Hyundai Avante and they are so proud to have this function like those in the Japanese cars, it is not a must have feature though.

 

I have installed the auto up function for my driver's power window and the module is less than $50 per door, continental cars come with auto up/down on 4 doors as a standard feature.

 

For those which can auto go down when some pressure has been applied, it comes with a sensor module which is not cheap.

 

Having the auto up for window is good enough even without the sensor.

How come he can't notice that his back windows were not fully wind up? The driver should be able to hear exterior notice during the drive, unless he's driving with all his other windows wind down. Even though, shouldn't he be keeping a continuos lookout for the kid, esp a 4 year old keeping quiet during the journey?

Oh my car is only half year old.
