Cool EQS window not staying closed

New 2023 EQS 580 - 5 days after taking delivery the passenger window will not stay closed. The window closes and then immediately drops down ~4"
Holding the up position also results in the window dropping down. Trying the reset procedure (videos/online/mercedes technicians) also does not work.

Tried the factory 'reset'. Dealer has had the car 3 weeks.
They have replaced the actuator, motor, seals and now have opened a ticket with MB in GE. I have seen a few issues on forums/blogs (not on this one).
One poster stated that MB had to develop a s/w update...that seems odd as the software should be the same on all current releases (that was April of 2023).

Anyone else having an issue?

That was happening to me about a year ago. I don’t remember what I did to fix it. I think it just fixed itself.

Me too. You can close it by operating the window "manually" instead of the auto up. Stop it before it gets all the way up and close it at slow speed. In my car it has been sporadic issue. Some times it closes fine and sometimes it doesnt. The dealer tried to fix it but couldn't and after a few days it was back to working ok again. As far as I know this has been a long standing issue with MB frameless doors. Its a snafu with the antipinch feature. Keep trying the reset procedure.

EQS window and general faults

Hi , had my 450 EQS for over a year and 15000 miles ..mine started doing this .. I had to ‘trick’ the window by closing it manually a bit at a time . Went to dealer for that and numerous other ‘teething’ problems ..they reset it , but it’s just started doing it again . Other issues I have are steering wheel heater coming on randomly when one gets in the car , steering ‘hold the wheel’ warning coming on by itself (about 5 or 6 times ) when self drive is not even activated , back door mechanisms mended 3 times then totally replaced as handle was sticking , plus several other issues I’ve forgotten about , dealer has had car for about 2 months on and off . I had their demo , for weeks , which was better , but had a few different faults/quirks . The car drives so,well , why can’t they finish it ?

Happened to me my first month of ownership. Did the standard readjustment procedure that works with most cars these days -- hold button all the way down for 10 secs and in all the way up position for 10 secs -- and it's never been a problem again. Saw a video on YouTube afterwards about the Mercedes sunroof procedure where they did windows too and learned I didn't have to hold it down/up that long but my brain is too old to remember different procedures for every car so think I'll stick with the one I already know. Oh, I did also squirt some Armor All on all the car's weather stripping so maybe that helped lubricate the window some.
