2005 Cadillac DevilleVisibility & wipers

The driver side mirror changes position, pointing down to the ground, erratically, usually when entering or leaving the car, or inserting the key, even though I am always using driver #1 key. I can reset it, use the memory button to save the position. It may work for several stops during a shopping trip, then change again on it's own. It is a safety hazard because when I want to change lanes I look at the mirror and it is pointed to the ground. The dealer where I always take my car for service, has not been able to determine the problem.

Rolled down front passenger window using the driver button and was down for about a minute and then as I tried to bring it back up with the same button the window came up and then slammed down inside the window.
