SEAT Leon - windows opening by themselves

The windows on my 2001 SEAT Leon are opening by themselves when I lock the car. What’s going on?

Might be because you are pressing the keyfob button after you have lecft the car. But more likely because moisture has got inside the locking and windows ECU inside the driver's door. A very common VAG fault for the past 20 years.
