Automatic window sensing

The window should automatically stop and lower slightly if it senses (through pressure I am assuming) an object in the way. In my first test, it worked perfectly. On the second attempt, my fingers got crushed. I had to use my second hand to lower the window! I am a bit disappointed that it is not consistent. Has anyone tried this? But be careful!

LOL, I want to try it, but I'm too scared of getting my fingers lopped off. Maybe I'll put a bottle or something there, but don't want to mess up my window either.
From what you're saying, I'm disappointed. It should indeed be consistent.
Hope you didn't hurt yourself too much...

yes the first time it goes back down. the second chance i call it, i have to keep clear because my window keeps on going. my VW was like that as well. the first time i can understand, the second, well just keep you fingers out of the way.
