More natural to me would be
Please open [or close] the car door [or window].

There is nothing ungrammatical about your #1 - #4. I just wouldn't say them.

5 is fine.
6 - Don't use "key." (There is something called keying a car, but it's when you deliberately ruin the paint job of a car by running your keys along the side. It's an act of vandalism.)

As I said, simply say:
Please close the car door.
Please close the car window.
Please open the car door.
Please open the car window.

Often we use a noun as an adjective for things like this. The car door, not the car's door. The building entrance, not the building's entrance. The kitchen window, the table leg, the bathroom mirror, etc.
