couple of small problems with s500 coupe

hi all i have an s500 coupe and i have a couple of small problem that i was wondering if you guys could help me with.
1- on the coup the window opens a little bit so sometimes when i close the door it wont go back all the way up.
2- this is a very minor thing, but the lever that pushes the seatbelt forward when you close the door is not working anymore on either side.
i was wondering if there is a door close sensor that would cause this kind of problem or would it be something else? i already checked all the fuses in the engine compartment.
the seatbelt thing is not a big deal but i like to have it fixed just because it impresses people when it does that

any help will be greatly appreciated

You know, there are fuses in the trunk as well...

I think its the same fault that could case both of your problems, a switch not
sensing the closing of the door. Do you have the comfort closing (pressure
assisted closing of the doors)? It sounds similar to the
problem in that thread, but it seem like you do not get a closed
door signal at all (while in the thread, it was the closed relax position
that was wrong).

thanks for the reply, the car does have assisted closing but it rarely work, i think the problem is exactly what you said about the door not getting a close signel, because when the windows are not fully closed i noticed that if i try to open and close the door after a couple of tries when the door is closed the window will close the small gap automaticlly.

i have been very busy so i havent been able to work on it but hopefully ill be able to work on it this weekend, ill post the updates later

thanks again for the help
