2001 CLK55 window problem

My promblem is if I let the window go up automatically it goes to the top and the comes back down about three inches. If the door is open it works fine. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thank's in advance

Sounds like the window stop is broken. Check if, when the door is open, the window goes about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch past the seal/window guide at the triangle portion where the outside mirror is located. If so than the stop is probably broken.

Can't remember if the stop is part of the window itself or not on this car. It has been a while since I have seen this happen.

the window does go down a 1/4 inch when door opens. i will look into the window stop and see if that will fix my problem.

thanks for the info

No, I meant roll the window up with the door open and check if the glass sticks up past the seal at the tip of the triangle portion.

It's a common issue with W208 CLK's - the window control module may need replacing. (3 replaced under warranty with mine)

You can try re-synching the window by raising the window by only going to the first click - let it close completely and hold for 1 second. This re-set can work in some cases.

Mine occaisonally does this every few months, but closing it without the auto-up feature and it will function normally the next time(s).
