alscar Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I know this has been in another thread (I just cant find it).. The window on the passenger side isnt dropping the little bit when you go to open the door.. Any ideas whats causing it? Is it an easy fix, should be a warranty job, just prefer to know what Im talking about before they try and fob me off with something. All a it odd seeing it only started doing it after it went in to get the power hood sorted!.. Still at least the hood works now I guess.

alscar Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Yeah.. window works without any problem.. Goes down when you use the power hood as well.. Just wont drop that half inch whe you go to open the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernmunkeh Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 warranty, new window motor required - well thats how they fixed mine after it wasnt dropping when opening door hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alscar Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Thanks for that.... Just seamed strange that everything else about the window works except for that... Just a quirk I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernmunkeh Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 my window worked fine apart from not dropping, and when using the wind up window without holding the switch down it went all the way to the top then came back down half open again, it was bizarre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddyonholiday Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 It could be the encoder calibration, there is somewhere the setting procedure but it does mean removing the door panel. It could also be the door switch but it could also be the controller int eh Drivers door and the related wiring connector as the autodrop function is provided power from the IPDM by a different route than that of the window opening function as it is available after the main body control system has gone into sleep mode (eg you have left the vehicle more than X minutes without power being applied through the ignition system). You should if the vehicle is within warranty get it checked properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny350z Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Are the windows supposed to go down half an inch when opening doors on all models or just the ragtop? Mine move... slightly... and that's about it. Definitely don't go down half an inch. Claim on warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alscar Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Yeah they only drop a little bit. (I was exagerating with half an inch)... I guess its a trip back to the dealers, for its once a month warranty claim! grrrr!!! Thanks for the advice though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Ming Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 When I unlock mine then open the door the window does not drop but if you push gently on the glass it actually drops about 1/4 of an inch. Everything works fine when you close the door though. Is it that the glass is actualy slightly loose in the runner? When I use the window button though eveything works as it should. Confused? You betcha Ming the Befuddled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 when you open the door make sure the little rubber 'nipple' is properly postioned on the switch, just look about half way down the door shut line near the sticker for the tyre pressures (on the drivers sdie that is), sometimes i have to tweak the rubber 'nipple' as my drivers window doesn't drop fully sometimes,if that makes sense. if not i'll take a picture if it ever stops raining here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alscar Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 Is there a little switch like that on both doors then? I think I'm being blind and cant see it!! Would be an easy thing to try before getting back to the dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
