Driver side window stayed up again

Limeybastard · 05-23-2014, 01:02 PM

Not sure what's going on to be honest but today the glass stayed up and I had to press the black micro switch in door jamb to get window to drop a little before I could close it.

I had my hood open if that makes a difference?
I already initialized them last week as this was also occurring on driver side occasionally before. Thanks.

I get the same problem every now and then on mine. The first time it happened I didnt notice and actually tried to close the door and I heard a loud clack which scared the crap out of me. I just pay attention a little more but would rather not have to if this is a design problem.

Im in for more info.

I'm thinking the micro switch is faulty.

Is there any particular reason why you can't just take it to the dealer?

She's BRAND NEW, and it shouldn't have an issue like that.

Because how the hell will the dealer emulate this issue when it occurs once every 500 times. LOL. ;-)

Going to main dealer would be like Damien Omen going to church.

Sorry I bothered, I was only trying to help.

Good Luck!

Just so you know... if that happens while your lights are on auto setting, they'll stay on until your battery dies. Ask me how I know, and why I never use that feature anymore.

I also fixed the problem by adjusting the switch with a Phillips screwdriver. Took all of 5 seconds.

That shouldn't happen.

Try reset procedure one more time, if the problem persists, yeah, I'd take advantage of the warranty -- you've got 3 years/36K from the build date to have it checked, so no rush.

Care to explain Sir how you made the adjustment please ?

I also never use auto lights.

I literally just tightened the Phillips screw clockwise by about 1/4 turn and I haven't had an issue since. My car was doing it a lot since the people who did my tint disabled the switch and then apparently forgot to re-tighten it.

same thing happens to me a few times. I think it's because of the seatbelt. Make sure your seatbelt isn't getting in the way of the door fully closing. Move the seatbelt in closer towards the seat and you should be fine.

I dont think its the seatbelt since its happened before I close the door and noticed it. The window switch is almost like it never engaged to move the window back down when I opened the door. Its weird how its intermittent and randomly doesn't work until you push the rubber switch yourself to reactivate it.

That's why I think its the switch that's defective first port of call for me. Need a price now.

I tightened the Philips screw we shall see.
