Help!!!!!!!! Knowledge - Closure issue

[billy_vw]

I have a mk3 gti, and just had a new electric window regulator fiited on nearside rear.
now when i open car the window goes down 4inches, and when i lock it it goes up. 

Any suggestions???

Cheap fix required, where can i take it??

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??

Had this happen to me this week when i took off my door cards to get to my speakers i just unplugged it then plugged it in again. The connections to the window switch that is . Good luck sorry i cant help much more than that

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" 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!!!!

dont mk3s do this when the key is turned to a certain position and held when u open the door?? my gti used to let the windows down when it felt like it,usually when no-ones there and its about to rain

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.
