Auto-up, and down, and up again!!

Window is down 1/2 way, or sunroof is 1/2 open, when i initiate an Auto-close it closes and then opens back to where it was originally. what gives...?!?! this happens about 80% of the time...

In essence, they told me that sometimes the computer memorizes movements that trigger the "auto-safety" feature on the windows. Regardless, I told them that it happened very often and sure enough they had to reset the settings in order for it not to be as "sensitive".
The "auto-safety" feature still works when I put my hand in between the window and closing (which is good), but it doesn't do it when my hand is nowhere near the window. If you're still under warranty (which you should be, unless you travel a whole lot and got up to 50,000 miles already). Take it in and they can fix the problem for you.

Actually I'm surprised at your answer. With all the advice you've been giving members/noobs on here I figured that you would either search or RTFM first. (j/k) :p

Honestly, the only reason I never searched the forum for this one was because of the "stearlership" telling me that something needed to be reset...so in essence I figured it was a dealer fix and never really gave it a second thought...Luckily this thread came up, cuz even when I read through the manual, I didn't see this. Guess I didn't read the "troubleshooting" stuff too carefully...LOL
Oh well, hey, I'm entitled to be lazy every now and then, aren't I?...LOL
Thanks again guys

Funny, I have an 05 and this has happened a couple of times. In the beginning I thought I was seeing things but now I know other people have this issue. Damn Benz, 5 years in production and still bugs. Will they ever get it right?????????
