Window auto-up WTF?

Do any of you have this issue where when you pull the window switch all the way up to close the window quickly, window starts rising a bit, then stops and goes back down? On the second attemp it always closes fine tho.

Has anybody had similar experience?

I don't have a GLK, but this happens occasionally with my W220.

Never had that problem, but my rear hatch is driving me crazy. They have adjusted the catch twice. Up 2 inches and then down.

We have been experiencing the exact same problem. I thought it might be a defective switch. The dealership 're-synched' everything, but it didn't cure the issue. New window motor ordered and being replaced next week. Hope that's it.

I almost think it's the way it's supposed to be. It happens to me when I push the button very quickly, so my thinking was that car thinks you hit the switch by mistake.

I haven't taken mine to dealer yet even tho I've been having this issue on and off for past 8 months. After playing with buttons this one time the issue went away and has been fine for past month. I'm gonna experiment more over the holidays.

I've had the exact same issue, and also wondered if it does this on purpose.

It's either the regulator or the pinch control monitor... my guess, too much drag on the window track... either way it must go in...

Mine has been doing this for awhile. I took it in once, but the stealership could'nt recreate the problem so no fix yet.

My SA thought it was the pinch control monitor but when re-synched he still felt it was a motor issue. To be replaced on the 30th.

My GL did this.

Close the door, key to ON position. Put the window all the way down, then release switch. Hold the switch again for 10 seconds. Put the window all the way up. Hold the switch again for 10 seconds. Shut the car, open the door. Close the door and start the car. Window should be fixed.

Agree with MBRedux, likely too much drag caused by the window track. Had this happen to my Infiniti and service replaced the rubber in the track which fixed the problem.
