If you don't mind,

Have you ever heard that 'If you don't mind, I will like to open the window" or "if you didn't mind, I would like to open the windows?" I feel like although those sentences are correct in grammar, the meanings of them are weird. So "If you don't mind, I would like(want) to open the windows" is right in both ways. What do you think? Please help me again.

These two are no good: (X) If you don't mind, I will like to open the window. (X) If you didn't mind, I would like to open the windows. This is OK: If you don't mind, I would like to open the window.
