A207 Rear Window Not Closing on First Attempt

When I open and close the right rear window, it pops slightly back open on first attempt, then closes properly the second time. I can't work out what the issue is. I tried to see whether I could reset the max position through my OBD reader, but I couldn't find the actuation settings for the rear windows (front windows were available). I also tried holding the close button to reset (I seem to remember that this worked on my X166 before).

Any suggestions?

Thanks all

Mine does the same as your vehicle. Never figured it out but happy it closes tight on 2nd attempt. It may be designed to do first attempt not close all the way, I really don't know.

Try resetting all the windows position :

Do this one window at a time: run the window all the way down then all the way up, holding the button in the up position for 3 secs after it reaches the top.
You have to do this for all the windows IIRC for the settings to take hold.

My 2012 A207 did what you describing, it took 2 rounds of doing this for the new settings to "take". IIRC it was Konigstiger that told me that...(I dont think he is active on here anymore)

Let us know if that works for you
