Global Window Feature
The only person to get it to work in anything later than a build date of Apr '05 is chabbz182. And he won't give the name of the dealership nor give any proof that his works, so I'll believe it when I see it.
Just FYI - I've never taken mine in to have the feature activated, but out of curiosity - I tried it last week and it worked in my 05. Build date was 2nd week of production in Sep 04.
It was raining and I didn't want to run outside if I didn't have to - and from the doorway at work (about 30 yards) I pointed, and viola - windows up. The two guys who ran across the lot to roll thier up and got all wet were jealous.

what do you push fort his to work? I've never heard of this...I assume something on the key fob??
You press and hold the unlock button on your key fob/remote and both windows roll down. However, you can't roll them up using the remote.
Also, you can put the key in the driver's door lock and either roll them both up by holding it the lock position or roll them both down by holding it in the unlock posistion.

Instead of fixing it, they just disable it! Say what you will, but Honda has had this feature for years and it works perfectly. (Yes, I do own a Mustang) Come on Ford, you must have an engineer with some knowledge of electronics, if not call Honda for some help.
OLD post, new to me. I came out in the rain, to find the windows down. Rolled em up, no idea what happened.
Next morning go out to find em down again, a little wet inside, but at least under the carport this time.
Roll em up, and remove the key, shut the door and down they go. 3 times this happened, finally rolled em up, disconnected the battery and started reading the forums and post. I figured i was going to the dealer and having the global turned off.
After much reading and thinking i decided to try making the global work by turning the key in the door lock, to raise the windows. Well it has worked. no more window drop, Global still works using the key FOB.
(05 Gt built 12/04 Started having problems after a heavy rain).I hope this helps anyone else, wonder if Ford checked this when deciding to disconnect all those that paid for the feature.
