Odd window behavior
New, minor issue:
Parked the car yesterday morning at work, left all windows open about 1". Back in the car at the end of the work day, start it, closed all the windows, crank the A/C for 5 minutes to cool it off. Turned the A/C off, opened the drivers side window all the way for the rest of the drive home.
Pulled in driveway, trans in park, engine still running. Pulled the switch up through the auto up position. Window goes up all the way, then immediately reverses and lowers about halfway. I toggle the switch again, same thing. And again. The next two times I video the symptom with my phone.
I then press the switch through auto down. Window lowers all the way and stays. I then hit auto up again and up it goes - and stays.
Anyone have a similar occurrence?

try this (page 101 of the manual)
Resetting the side windows
If a side window can no longer be closed fully,
you must reset it.
X Close all the doors.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 1 or 2 in the
ignition lock.
X Pull the corresponding switch on the door
control panel until the side window is
completely closed (Y page 99).
X Hold the switch for an additional second.
If the side window opens again slightly:
X Immediately pull the corresponding switch
on the door control panel until the side
window is completely closed (Y page 99).
X Hold the switch for an additional second.
X If the corresponding side window remains
closed after the button has been released,
the side window has been reset correctly.
If this is not the repeat the steps
above again.

So weird, my back windows in the coupe would not come back up yesterday. I just turned off the car, let it sit, came, back turned it on, and then I could bring the windows back up.

New symptom, which started just yesterday: auto up for the driver window no longer works, but does work on the other 3. The window will go up if I hold the switch up. "Reset" via holding the switch up an additional second or 2 does not resolve it.
Weird.
Weird.

Thanks, Konigstiger, appears any of those LI's could apply.
I like to have any potentially applicable LI's or TSB's with me when I visit the dealer. Helps set proper expectations.
