Hi Elie

Push the button to lower the window and keep pressing it for 5 more seconds. It should do the work. Then Try it.

Hi Again just disregard previous comment, my mechanic says that vehicle does not have memory system in the windows for auto mode, I didn't see the type of vehicle you had.

unfortunately this didn't solve my problem, my problem is that the window doesn't go all the way down with a single push on the bottom.

Additionally, when you re read my post, I asked a question----"what happens" any chance of answering the question, because I was trying to determine if the window went up and down all the way with the key in the lock!!! Just a simple yes or no will do.
Hi

yes all the windows including the roof went up, non of them went down

if i understood right!!!!

1- it goes down till i stop pushing.
2- this is a bit tricky, fist try the window goes down while the bottom is pushed (no auto function), i tried for a second time (but after i locked the doors and unlocked them), the window went down like 3/4 and stopped.
