electric window strange behaviour?

[andyboy]

my front drivers side window occasionaly stops going up halfway, to get it to go to the top we have to go up and down half a dozen times.
for the first few goes it always stops at the same place.
do the switches play up or is it the window motor?

It's normally a little sticking problem - try spraying a little furniture polish into the felt area and seeing how it goes.

Cheers,

is that a safety sensor switching the motor off, thinking your hand or arm is getting trapped?

Correct - it can also stick if one side is going up faster than the other.

Either way, easing the path of the glass will help.

Cheers,

agree with skipton, I've had this since new... a generous squirt of Mr Sheen in the runners, and it's not happened since!

c'mon now, try it, it's FREE!

In that case wouldn't it be best to spray it with Window-lean?

Bubump-tshah!

There is a repair-kit for that. Sometimes on ebay.de ...
