I have seen some strange things happen with the rear window and I have noticed it only happens when I use the SmartTOP controls - do you have SmartTOP installed?

When closing the roof or using the rocker switches to shut the window it closes all the way (to meet the main window) but then opens back down by a couple of inches.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

the passenger side rear window has started doing something weird that is a little annoying... When closing the roof or using the rocker switches to shut the window it closes all the way (to meet the main window) but then opens back down by a couple of inches. To get it to shut again fully I have to press the switch again and then it is fine. Although not a big problem is is easy to forget to check and walk away leaving the window open, but what could be causing such an odd thing?

POST 2Original post

Mine did something similar today - but it came back down without making to the top. I have seen some strange things happen with the rear window and I have noticed it only happens when I use the SmartTOP controls - do you have SmartTOP installed? I think thats the cause of my problems as opening and closing as intended by stock works fine.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Still got this irritating problem and as I am using the roof all the time now need to have a nother go at understanding it. There is no Smart Box fitted so I can't figure out why is shuts then opens again by a few inches. Guess it is anti-trap feature but it doesn't appear to be hitting on anything at the top that could make it go back down It's very odd. Is it a nightmare to strip the interior panel to get to the mechanism?

POST 4Original post

It sounds like one of the microswitches might be faulty. I had this same problem on my previous BMW.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone know where the relevant microswitch(es) are?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

in case anyone else suffers this i have "solved" the problem. Did a simple re-set last night by disconnecting the battery and hey presto window has stopped doing funny things.
