Yesterday I had my windows rolled down, and when I parked I rolled them all up. When I got out to lock the car via comfort access, I realized that the driver's side rear window was halfway down. So I held my finger down on the lock sensor for the door, and the window rolled up, but then immediately came back down halfway. I thought it was a comfort access thing so I got into my car and started it up and tried the window thing again and the same thing happened. Luckily I realized I'm able to roll it up to almost all the way up and leave it there so it looks like it's closed but if I roll it up to the resistance point it just goes back down.

Anyone ever had this issue? I'm still under warranty so I'm going to bring it in to the dealership. I also have a rattle I want them to check out so I'm thinking I'll remove my Sprint Booster since they'll have to drive around to hear it. This is the first time my car's been in since I've had the Sprint Booster.

same with my 2004 530i. Both back windows were malfunctioning, now only the right side does it. No clue how to fix, although I saw some references to reinitializing the windows

My bet is that one of these procedures will fix it:

Mine did this under warranty. They replaced the actual motor and its worked ever since.
