...thats a common misconception. The hp is only guaranteed if you apply the supplied Type R sticker
Uh yeah,,,that's easily explainable. The lack of the gas cap in and of itself would not necessarily adversely affect the operation of the power windows. However, in your case, since you turned the engine on and drove the car, you triggered the improper fluctuation of the muffler bearing. The proper synchronization of the muffler bearing with the alternator pump is crucial to the cam regulator timing. When the cam regulator timing is off, it sends variable voltage spikes through the rubber seal circuit. As you know, your windows are in contact with rubber door seals. The voltage spikes which can be in excess of 50K volts travel through the rubber gaskets, through the window glass, then into the electrical circuit. In this case, it looks like your power window switch got defribilated by the voltage spike.
The first place to check is the muffler bearing. Had you upgraded to the chrome muffler bearing this wouldn't have happened. Good luck!
Interesting.... I thought it may have been that I wasn't generating 1.21 gigiwatts in my flux capacitator....I'm calling Jon B for a new "Type R" muffler bearing immediately.

Your decision to go with the "Type R" muffler bearing demonstrates the fact that you know what you're talking about. It's a little known fact that the "Type R" unit will increase your Qtr mile trap speed by 35 mph in 90 degree weather / 90% humidity. Using "Type R" will increase the risk of you getting kicked off the track for having no cage so you'll have to sandbag. BTW, did you know that running the "Type R" will mean that you will only have to generate 1.193 gigiwatts in your flux capacitor. This means that it will run cooler and ultimately generate more RWHP!
You should probably go to an accredited driving school to handle all this extra power. Oh and don't forget, when you order the bearing, make sure you specify the year...cuz THE YEAR MATTERS!!!
PS
. Type R muffler bearings do not exists. The problem with the windows lies with your original gut feel. It is caused by the dual casuality of nature that was started during the post big-bang inflationary expansion period in the universe (1.6 pico-seconds after the event). So your quantum entanglement suggestion is right on the money. In an alternate path universe you actually put the cap back on the car and drove away. This was followed by your alternate self driving over a quantum field fluctuation (developed when you bought a non original gas cap) that disabled the windows. All you have to do to de-tangle this quantum effect is to throw the new gas cap you bought away, search for the original gas cap, and replace it. This will restore balance to the Quantum gravity field.
