Title: window problem
Post by: RolandL on 22 August 2010, 19:33:10

Have a slight problem with drivers 'lectric window.  Was wondering if anyone could advise.   Press button and window goes down. Press button to go up and window gets halfway and goes back down again.  The only way to get window fully up is to apply light pressure to the window as it goes up.  Any ideas??   :)

The window's anti-trap thinks it's detecting a hand/finger/head traped in the window. I'd suggest that the window is tight in its runners somewhere, try silicon lub in the runners.  ;)

The window won't close because of a safety feature thats designed to stop things becoming trapped. The trouble is that over time either the rubber window guides stretch slightly, or the motor/window lifter mechanism becomes loose at their mountings and cause the safety feature to cut in too early.

You can try some lithium or silicone type lubricant on the window rubbers, spray it down the rubbers where they disappear vertically into the doors, this may last for a while but really it needs the door card off to clean and re-adjust the rubbers and adjustment of the mechanism.

I use tailors chalk, fits nicely in the gap and doesn't leave a greasy mess ;)
