Strange window operation

Has anyone had problems with the window lifters in their 204s?

My 2009 model Sport has developed a strange glitch with the passenger side front window (left side in U.K.).

It no longer goes up in one "shot", as it should. I have to hold the lifter switch up continuously. When the window reaches the top, it goes down again, by itself, about 0.5 inches. You must then operate the window lifter switch again to fully close it.

All other windows are fine. Its booked in with the dealer in aboutt 10 days but was wondering whether this is an isolated fault.

Thanks MB fans

I had the same problem too. Apparently you get rid of it by closing all windows and holding the window tabs up (to close them) for a few seconds. That's said to reset the windows.

It's well known and the fix (sometimes temporary) is in the owner's manual.
