You cannot open car windows under water, electric or not. The pressure jams everything up.


That's precisely why you roll down the window. Nobody suggested opening the door. Not even sure how you got there

Uh, you aren't sure how I got there because I didn't. I never even said the word door.

You cannot roll down manual car windows in a sunken car because the pressure of the water jams the mechanism regardless of what powers that mechanism. In a still sinking car, electric windows do not short out and you can roll them down just fine.
