Searched around and didn't really see anything. But just recently my wife told me the rear window goes down on its own. Hit the button for it to go up and it goes up and where it should stop it hits and goes back down. So the only way to get it up and stay is send it up and right before it would secure in its fully closed state is to stop it. As you can imange it can be little bit of a pain in the butt.

I'm taking there must be a sensor in there of some sort. Is there anyway to reset this??

Hi, there is no way of resetting it, you have to change the sensor itself.

I did not read all of Rudy's posts, so forgive me if this is in there somewhere, but I believe you have to do the reset procedure using the window button on the door of the offending window, not the driver's button for that window. After several failed tries from the driver's door, I did it from the left rear door, and it worked like a champ.
