I asked for some advice in December 2003 under the subject "Power
Window with a mind of its own wants to open by itself - 89 900
Aero/SPG" and received lots of useful advice from exorcism to cleaning
the switch. I cleaned the switch (and swore at it a few times) and the
problem went away for a while. A few months later we went into cooler
weather when the window demon seems to hibernate and things were
quiet.

Now that we're getting into spring and we're getting a few warm days,
the demon has awoken. I cleaned the switch again and it made no
difference. I phoned my service place and was advised that I could get
a new or working second hand switch. Feeling safe, I decided to modify
the switch to disable the auto-down feature. When I took the switches
apart, I'd noticed that the switch with the auto-down feature had an
extra leaf-like spring thing. So I cut it off. That seems to have done
the job. OK, the window did wind down as soon as I turned the ignition
on after installing the modified switch. But I think that had
something to do with the auto-down mechanism still being "on". That
was two days ago. The demon has been sleeping since then.
