After fully recharging the battery i had reset the windows as instructed in the manual. Now all four switches on the driver's door work. Excellent :-)

Sorry to hear of your misfortune at least no one was hurt. I expect it is repairable. Is there a handbrake issue with the Mazda 5 that i have not heard off? I always leave my car in gear (manual transmission) with the handbrake up.

I have the space for the sunglasses above the glove box on my 2007 1.8 TS2 model. Regarding sunglasses my M5 comes without a sunroof. It has a compartment for sunglasses next to the rear view mirror.
