Window goes down randomly when I unlock

23fizzer · 06-28-2016, 10:16 AM

About once a week when I press the unlock button on the key the windows roll down half way.

(And its not because i'm holding down the button)

Annoying especially when its raining!

Anyone else have this happen to them?

I think it's likely the button is sticking. Does it happen with both fobs?

Yes same! It takes a moment to roll back up too. I kind of assumed it's the pinch protection because it'll only do it on driver side.

If by any chance you press the unlock button 2 times (not holding it pressed).... the window on the door you open will go down half way instead of only a bit if you press it once.

Sometimes when I auto both windows up and turn the car off the driver side stops and goes back down....very strange

Yes. I think this is "Comfort Entry", triggered as you say by a double press on the button. It can apparently (at least in UK) be disabled through Settings on the iDrive (Settings->Doors/Key->Comfort Entry - change it to (just) All doors).
