Anyone have any brilliant ideas as to why my drivers window has suddenly stopped going down all the way?

If I push the button two clicks it automatically drops, but when it gets to 1/4 of the way from the bottom, it simply stops as if it thinks it has fully opened...

This is a pain as I cant easily throw stuff at chavs out of the windows....

Anoyne know why this has happened?

Mine started doing this - was SOOOO annoying when it was sunny and u wanted to put ur elbow on there.... then one day it stopped doing it and went all the way down - bit like fixing PC's

Hmmm...

Sounds a bit weird...

Might have to pull the door card off and see if there is something wedged in the sliders...

how annoying!

Yeah mine does this sumtimes like both sides, go to the two clicks then it stops just above half way, but then i pull up and leave it a second and click twice down again and all is well, propa weird tho!

Yeh they do this all the time. All you have to do is press 'up' on the button and keep hold of it til it gets to the fully up position. Keep hold of it for a few seconds afterwards and you'll hear a very subtle click. The switch resets then will work properly,, until the next time.........

Any reason why they do this???

Or isit just another joy of the gti!

They just flip out time to time. And doing what I said above just resets them.

Chears for the input guys..

Tim, I tried what you suggested about holding the button down, but it doesnt seem to do anything....

I hear a very feint click, but the winows still wont go all the way down balls!

in all seriousness mine did this and i hit the doorcard in frustration and it worked again - i know that it sounds completely idiotic but it did work for me. Worth a shot.

If Tim's solution doesn't work, wind up the windows fully up, then disconnect the battery for half hour, this will reset the positioning and should work fine again.
