What is that motorized noise whenever you open your door?

I finally figured out what that noise is. It's some kind of mechanism inside the HUD projector retracting/expanding when you open the door. I saw this weird reflection today as I was leaving my car, and apparently the HUD closes itself when you leave the car.

It's the tiny elves getting up from their tea and biscuit break ready to man their stations. After all, the car won't drive itself. Someone has to look through the peepholes and give you blind spot line of sight.

Actually, I have no idea what you mean which is why I questioned your comment. I also have no idea how you can possibly attribute that sound to anything related to the windows!

Simple. The window needs to go down a little so you can open the door. Which means there is a motor that does that as well as for rolling the window up or down. Now what happens when the battery is dead? How do you open the door without damaging the trim? Perhaps there is a secondary mechanism that can work without the need for any power and that's what makes the noise when you open the door.

Door opens easily without the window going down. It's shutting it that is near impossible without the window down. How do I know? 'Cause when I opened my car this morning at the hotel parking lot, all doors apparently had enough moisture in them from the previous days rain, and all the windows were frozen in place. Of all the 'little things' the car should have - heaters for the stinking windows! (rant over.)
