S500 Coupe
W140 Coupe Windows and Stereo

I tried to get my windows tinted, had my dad drop the car off to his friends (USATinting). They tried to make the window go all the way up when the door is open (its normally not because it "reseals" itself when you close the door), now I can't get the passenger side and the rear passenger to go all the way up and seal via one touch....help please!!!

Also, my head unit is doomed! When ever I adjust the volume, it doesn't want to cooperate and or it will do the opposite: turn it up, it lowers; turn it down, it goes up....Arrrrrrgghhh!!!

auto touch

Have you tried to re sync them by closing them via the first detent(when the door is closed) and then pushing to the second detent and holding for a few(5) seconds. It resyncs the auto up feature at least in the big car. This proceedure is in the manual, and required when the battery is replaced. I hope they did not disconnect the battery to fool with the windows.
Cant help on the radio, is there memory in that ? Becker? Alpine?

I've tried the resyncing procedure, still it doesn't work. I think I will just change my head unit. But I still need to know if the changer could still be used or not...help anyone....
