neo-ninja Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 HI All, Just a quick one, as it has been hotter more recently i have been opening my windows more (nothing better then having them open on a summers day drive!) Anyway my driver side window is auto and my passenger side isnt (which is normaly on my age of car) but today i noticed something wierd... When i went to auto shut my window, the window went up a cm or so then down again..i tried again and hold my finger on for a fraction longer and it worked fine. But only seems to if i do a proper "click hold for a split second" let go, rather then a click like i do for getting the window down... Now is that normal? I have never noticed before..(i dont think) anything i can adjust or try? Any thoughts? Quote
Gizmo-R Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Does it auto wind up and then drops back down about half way as if it was preventing a hand from being trapped? (Anti trap function?) Quote
neo-ninja Posted June 18, 2010 Author Posted June 18, 2010 nope not halfway more like 1cm out then down again.. Quote
Gizmo-R Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Try a window reset mate... There is a guide on how to do it! Takes 10mins to whip the door card off to do it! Done mine with a similar problem and it sorted it and did'nt take long at all Quote
neo-ninja Posted June 19, 2010 Author Posted June 19, 2010 10 mins even for a real novice? I remember someone said that on the smart forums about taking of a speaker grill and lets just saying it wasnt for a novice lol! Quote
mrobinson2 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 I did did the reset procedure on Thursday mate and it really is easy, all I would say is the bolt behing the interior door handle is easier to take out using a multi screwdriver with an extension and a 10mm socket rather than a screwdriver, less chance of dropping it into the door. Consequently. The reset procedure didn't do anything for me, unless I did it wrong as the guide is obviously a direct translation from another language into English and some of it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. Good luck pal. Quote

I thought exactly that when attempting it as I am novice as I never done it before! But it really is easy! Quote

Good luck pal. What was wrong with yours? The bit that was confusing for me was where they said the reset switch because the bit you press is actually a moving part when you wind the window down Quote
neo-ninja Posted June 20, 2010 Author Posted June 20, 2010 so gave the car a drive today, and problem wasnt there, can only assume i was being a spaz, or that there was something in the window making the finger trap thing active. maybe my hoodie or something... Quote
Gizmo-R Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 MIne was intermittant too. It wouldn't happen all the time but when it did I had to hold the switch until it was all the way up and it behaved afterwards. Its was almost like the auto up functioned needed warming up before working but nevertheless the window reset sorted mine out and hasn't happened since Quote
