Hello.
I have a rear-window anti-trap malfunction on the left rear window. All of the forum posts here (that I've been able to find, anyway) refer to a procedure that approximates the following:
With the ignition in the "On" position, roll down the affected window all the way (continue to depress if the window stops), then hold for 5-10 seconds. Then, roll the affected window all the way back up, then hold for 5-10 seconds.
I've tried variations of this procedure with the vehicle running, the ignition "On" with the engine switched off, or the ignition in the accessory mode. My dealer claims that the above procedure is for the front windows, but not the rear, and that the "procedure for the rear windows is confusing even to them", and thus they asked I schedule a service appointment.
Of course, being the stubborn bastard I am, I don't care to schedule a service appointment, even if it is free. Does anyone know what the rear window anti-trap reset procedure is, or what I might have done wrong?
Thanks!

Worked like a charm for me on the second try.
I did not hear any beeps, I did accept the inital warning that comes on when you start the car, and go into service codes to see the actual "anti-trap" error when I performed it for the second try.
Also I believe you CANNOT sit at the driver side to perform these unless the driver side window is the one with the issue.
Here were my steps...
1) I had the car started
2) Roll down the window all the way from the "broken" window (it wants to stop every xx inches, keep making it go down all the way)
3) I released the switch
4) I pushed and held down (I heard from another place that it needs to be exactly 17 seconds)
5) After 17 seconds I immediatly pulled up on the switch to roll the window up (it went all the way up).
6) after the window went all the way up, and still holding the up switch, it rolled all the way down, and then all the way up once more.
7) After #6 the process was complete and the window was functioning normal again.
Hope that helps.

I tried about 20-30 combos and nothing. I think having the car ON is key, at least for my car it was.
I turned the car on.
Went to the rear driver side.
rolled down window and let switch go.
I then held down the button all the way (switch2) I counted to 20 to see it would work rather than the 17 seconds.
switched to up (switch2) imidiatley and held it. I think it started moving up after a few seconds and I held it until it went up, down, and all the way up again.
Tested one touch, keyless entry window thingy, it all worked fine.
Thanks man, I almost scheduled a trip to bmw. You saved me trip!
Thanks

Finally got my window to reset! This is the process that I followed. The BMW instructions didn't work.
1. Start the car. Key in position "on" did not work for me.
2. At the window that is having the problem, lower the window all the way down (open) and then release the switch.
Don't do step 2 from the driver's seat. Do it at the window that is having problems.
You will know which window has problems because the "one-touch" function doesn't work.
3. After the window is fully down, push the switch all the way down (to position 2 or one-touch open position) and hold for 20 seconds.
4. Then immediately pull the switch up to position 2 (one-touch close position) and hold. Do not let go (even if the window stops after a few inches of going up)
5. Wait until the anti-trap message on the display disappears.
The symptoms I had were:
a. One-touch open/close did not work on the problem window.
b. The window only opened/closed 4 inches at a time even if you held the button down/up.
c. Anti-trap message appears on the console every time I started the car.
Thanks to Rudy for the initial instruction set!

Thanks so much for this. I tried it first and didn't work but then (I felt pretty stupid doing it) I got out my watch and timed it for exactly 17 secs. The window went up, then down again then up. ( all while I had it in the up position) and it worked. The trick is definately the 17secs, as crazy as that sounds. I bet BMW doesn't know this

I don't think that I've ever rolled down the right-passenger side window. Well yesterday, I rolled them all down (via the key FO
to vent the extreme heat before entering. Started up the car and got the anti-trap error... At first I thought that I didn't roll alll of the windows up properly or that the roof window was still open... The error was still there after I made grocery store stop and got very puzzled... So, I searched this morning and came across this post and just went out to the car and it fixed it, perfectly.
Thanks to all who worked this out!!!
