Title: Electric window gremlin???
Post by: omeydz on June 24, 2013, 08:37:36 pm
Evening y'all!

My drivers side window when its open and i close it, whether i use the one touch function or just hold the switch to close it...

...sometimes it randomly winds down itself half open soon as the window closes.

Anyone experienced it or got a fix?

Its not got any errors and is correctly coded. The one touch has been correctly calibrated.

Any help appreciated :)

Cheers, Omar

Mum's passenger side does this.
Mine thankfully do not.

Her passenger side glass has been replaced though, so that may have something to do with it?

Mine does it sometimes but I thought it was because of the wind deflectors.

Push your thumb up the gap at the top of the window and run it back and forth, possibly something to do with the window sensing a tight gap so pulling back down thinking a childs head is in the door or something!

Usually works for me!
