Drivers Window

[Philwalfc]

Hi everyone, just got back from hols abroad :( :( , got picked up from airport and dropped off in my Galaxy. I went to close the drivers window with the electric control button and had to keep my finger on the button to get it to close. When it reached the top, it opened itself to half way :lol: :lol: . I thought being tired I had done something wrong but on retrying again and again, it kept on doing the same thing. I did the global closing with my key and it did close the window, but after once again trying to close the window with the electric control it did the same thing again. Any ideas please. Me thinks I should of stayed in Kos B) B) . Thanks.

Try lubing the guide rubber, it may be that the drag on the glass is to much and is tripping the anti trap feature? or check the plug on the A post for damp/water ingress?

Thanks mate. I will get some silicon lube tomorrow and give it a try. I'll post to let you know what happens.

I get this quite often with my Alhambra. Have you tried opening the window all the way, then hold the key in the "lock" position in the drivers door until the window is fully closed? This seems to "reset" the window. Works for me anyway.......

Yes Popeye. I did the Global closing with the key and it did close the window. But on trying to do it again with the electric control button it does the same thing over and over again, opening to the half way open mark.

Sorry, I assumed you used the keyfob to do the global closing, rather than the door lock. My apologies!

Well the strangest thing. I bought some rubber lube yesterday took it back home to do the window. Before I messed about I tried the window again and the window closes up perfect, without a problem. So it looks like itis fixed, but I will keep a check on it.

 

Thanks again everyone

It overides the safety feature which stops trapped fingers etc - global closing will force the windows shut, I think even if it appears 'cured' I would lube the window since it appears marginal
