Talking Window Malfunction Fix

Just took my car to the dealer today for my malfunctioning driver’s side window.
Every time I “auto up” the window it would go back down about 2 inches after closing.

The tech just put some silicone all around the seals and solved the problem on the spot.

Cheers!
:p

Wait a minute...you have an auto-up feature? When did this happen? Did I miss that section in the owner's manual or is this only on the 430's?

I think the express up is 2000+

the symptom in the first post was actually solved by 're-synchronizing' the windows. Described in the owner's manual.

However: cars produced prior to April 2001 have been known to have the malfunction in express-up mode.

I've had two trips to re-synch (I couldn't get it to work)

and then driver's p/w motor replaced

later the control module (controls both windows, BTW).

Did you at any point have a dead or disconnected battery. That always causes that window problem.
