window goes up then 3/4 back down!
« on: 28 August 2009, 21:50 »
my drivers window is playing up, when i press the switch to close the window, once it has closed it then returns to about 3/4 the way down?

is there any way can you 'reset' the window motors?

anyone else had this problem??

sounds more like it needs recalibrating. Hold your finger on the button and bring it all the way down (not just the one-touch thing!) then do the same to bring it back up. Ignition off/on and it should have remembered where it needs to sit fully closed :wink:

I think if you disconnect the battery and then do what topher said works aswell
