A gentle vibration to let you know without taking your eyes off the road that the window is fully closed, so you aren't burning out your switch or the window motor faster than necessary by holding it longer than needed to reassure yourself it's sealed.

The Grand Old Duke Of York had exactly the same problem with his car windows.
Most cars have window switches where if you press them hard and release them they shut the window fully and if you press them softly they will continue closing the window until you release the switch. Of course society has been going downhill since hand-cranked window winders were replaced by electric windows. |

To be honest it probably does shut the motor off automatically, but it would still be nice when going through a car wash to have a positive feedback system to let me know it's fully closed without having to look or turn my music off to listen for the thud of the window connecting with the seal. |

I rode in the back of a (modern, not antique) car last month and it had a crank handle to wind the window up and down. |
