Windows not dropping on door opening?

Johnnywb · 13-08-2010, 08:12 PM

Anyone had this, or know whether it can be easily sorted?

Seems to happen if i've had the windows down, stop and then put the windows up. They just don't drop as you open the door. Door is then difficult to close. Concerned it's going to result in a smashed window at some point!

I've had it happen a couple of times but not for a while now. Could never figure out what I was doing wrong though, maybe the battery is on it's way out...

Good call Baz.

I'd stick the car on a CTEK or similar for a day or two to sort the battery out

Don't know if this helps you but I had this issue on my E36 M3 a few years ago. Turned out to be some sort of sensor that was busted. Can't really remember too well the exact sensor it was but had it replaced at my tuner and it was good as new.

It makes an awful sound when you close the door doesn't it
