All, yesterday I got to the store and "global closed" all the windows and sunroof with the key in the driver's door. When I came out of the store and tried the global open with the key fob - the driver's side rear windpw would not come down? After gettng back in the car and inserting the key I was able to get the window down - but only a few inches at a time. It was acting as if the "anti trap" feature had been triggered...and for a moment there was a message to that effect. Question: will this reset itself or am I going to have to take it into the dealer?

Take a look at the following document under the "Indirect anti-trapping mechanism" section:

Did you try to reinitialize it yourself?

My e60 was in the dealer last Thursday for "anti-Trap" error. He said they replaced the window motor on the drivers side but yesterday I got the same message and my window would not go up automatically or down. I guess they didn't replace the motor after all or they gave the the bad one
