Windows Keep going back down

[TheBIGJAYY]

not all the time but around 60-70% of the time, if i have my window half way down and put my window all the way up, sometimes it then shoots back down to about 2/3 of the way down. i then i have hold the switch to take it back up as it disables the auto function.

it happens on both driver and passenger window.

is there an easy fix for this or has any1 else experienced this and managed to find a fix for it? i had the passenger window motor replaced not too long ago due to the wire snapping but that's not solved the problem on the passenger side.

any help would be great! cheers

Think it's the anti-pinch mechanism that's faulty.

  I have the same issue

[TheBIGJAYY]

  glad its not just me then!

is the anti pinch mechanism a part of the window motor + cabling or is this a separate unit?

C'mon someone must have an answer out there?

have you reset the windows ? this probably wont work but worth a try .... hold the window switches up for about 10-15 seconds with the windows all the way up .

never heard of this before?! i will give it a try and test tonight etc and let people know!

meanwhile....any1 else got any ideas?

You need to put the window right the way down, once down, hold the button down for 10-15seconds. Then you will need to put the window right the way up and do the same, hold the button up for 10-15seconds and that should correct it as it just needs resetting.
Hope this helps.

Try both, can't hurt. 

 I had this exact problem a couple of months back and after 30 mins of trying various methods all was well. Only problem, I have no idea which method worked.

so far so good.

did both holding down for 15seconds, taking it straight up and holding it up when the window seals for 15seconds.

had the window up and down a few times now to test and its not done it so far.

fingers crossed all is well. ill update again this time tomorrow.

It'll come back, mine does. I think it's the guides.

Had this problem on mine for a quite a while. Tried all the different reset procedures I could find which work for a while but then it starts again.

It only happens on the drivers window & I have found that it only does it if I have the window open a couple of inches so if I open it further before closing it will go up on the first attempt
