Also when you press the switch to put window up it goes up when its at the top it comes back down half way....

Do i need a man with a laptop and VAG.com to rest my closure??

Ive read about this before. The window relay needs reseting. Quite how you do this i dont know but im sure there is a thread about it on the edition 38 forum. Its something to do with the "anti dead children devise" :grin: When the window motor senses any pressure whilst its closeing, it automaticly opens so as not to decapitate any kids that are hanging out the window!!!!

Billy VW,
I had a simular problem to yours a 2 years ago. It sounds like when you've fitted the regulator there is a metal wire which clips inside the motor is'nt on properly aroung the cog. Be careful. wrap it round a bit a a time and make sure they're not over lapping. It can be a bastard to do. Hope this helps.
