Car Forum / BMW Cars / November 2005front electric windows
recently purchased a bmw 320cd motorsport convertible and on random occasions when i open the car the drivers side window goes right down then when i shut the door it goes back up, very strange. Does anyone know the reason why this keeps happening?? >recently purchased a bmw 320cd motorsport convertible and on random >occasions when i open the car the drivers side window goes right down then >when i shut the door it goes back up, very strange.

Maybe you have a similar program but just for the one window...?

It allows the window to clear the top for a better seal.

They "adjust" about 1/8". Tom i know about the window dropping for the seal but the window goes all the way fully down then back up once the door is shut. bit strange... > >> recently purchased a bmw 320cd motorsport convertible and on random > >> occasions when i open the car the drivers side window goes right down [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Tom >> My Z4 does the same - but only if the windows are up when the door is > shut. >> They "adjust" about 1/8". >> >> Tom >i know about the window dropping for the seal but the window goes all the > way fully down then back up once the door is shut. bit strange.. That does seem like an a malfunction - is your car still under warranty?

The windows shouldn't go fully down, they should only drop enough to clear the rubber seal in the A-pillar and the roof structure. >i know about the window dropping for the seal but the window goes all the > way fully down then back up once the door is shut. bit strange...

They "adjust" about 1/8". Well, DUH! If the windows are already raised less than the full amount, there is no purpose in lowering them. The windows ONLY need to be lowered if they are fully raised when the door is opened. The real question is, why does it stop happening? It's supposed to do that everytime you open either of the doors. The windows fit into a rubber seal, and they should drop to clear the seal anytime the door is opened. My car (a '94 convertable) quit dropping the window (driver side only), and it turned out to be a microswitch that is built into the door latch assembly. I removed the door latch and cleaned a spring that activated the microswitch (the microswitch itself is okay, but the lilnkage sticks) and this fixed my problem. You should also notice that when the window fails to drop, the interior light and key-in-the-ingnition chime also fail to come on. This is a sign that the car doesn't know the door has been opened -- which is precisely what the switch is supposed to tell it. > recently purchased a bmw 320cd motorsport convertible and on random > occasions when i open the car the drivers side window goes right down then > when i shut the door it goes back up, very strange. Does anyone know the > reason why this keeps happening?? itz really strange i think its time to take into the dealers. my old e46 coupe did the same. the passenger window sumtimes goes half the way up then stops n goes back down again. But the drivers door p***es me off especially when itz raining. > The real question is, why does it stop happening? It's supposed to do that > everytime you open either of the doors.
