Corrected entry: When the Maitlands' car crashes, there are no side or back windows (so that the car would sink faster).

Correction: Or perhaps they had all the windows down on that lovely warm day?

If their windows were open, wouldn't they have had an easier time to get out of the car and live?
Not if they were injured in the crash, or even stunned.

The front windows were, in fact, open and, generally speaking, yes, that would've helped them get out faster. But there are other factors, like if they couldn't get the seatbelts undone or possibly received a concussion when they hit the water.
