setting Grid.Row to Auto stack two rows over each other? - wpf

Question

for the second row of the inner Grid I should set its Height explicitly, and if I set it to Auto the second and third rows are stacked over each other (will fill the same row even if the have different Grid.Row values):

Answer 1

Remove Grid.RowSpan="2" for the Make Label and Textbox. This causes it to run onto the following row.
It should be like this:
<Label Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" Content="Make"/>
<TextBox Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Text="{Binding Path=Make}"/>
