Hello,
On Monday, I tried to put the driver's window down but it wouldn't go down, then after a few tries it did go down, but lo and behold, it wouldn't then go back up after a number of tries. I whipped the door card off and quickly realised I knew absolutely nothing of what to do next.
I’ve got 2 years Evans Halshaw guarantee so didn’t want to tinker any further (taking motor off etc), but Tuesday morning on the way to work, I got in the car, set off and went over a speed bump and then when I pulled the switch it went up a tiny bit (25% up), then a bit more (to 40% up) and then went all the way up.
The window now won’t go down, but I don’t want to try it too much, as if it does, then I might not be able to get it to go back up again.
My guess is that it’s fallen off tracking a little, but then why would it work intermittently? The switch works perfectly for the other 3 windows.
Is this super common and if so, is there a quick fix?
Also, is there a way of just searching the GTD forum on here? I’ve done searches for this but it seems to come up with Mk4 and 6 and not really the Mk7 and being new to the Mk7 I don’t know any similarities. With parts/systems etc.
Apologies for the essay, thanks.
Rick

Think you have this covered already, you have tried to take a look and it's not obvious what to do next so why not use your warranty than guess any further? Not heard this as a common problem since mk4 days.
The search at the top by default searches in whatever section you are in, so if you go to http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?board=128.0 then use the top search box it will only search within the mk7 GTD section.
