Default Driver window goes down instead of up...its pissing me off

Hey guys, I've had this problem for a while and I've mentioned it to the dealer on a few occasions during regular services, and they always reset the switch and lube the window channel...this does NOT solve the problem.

So 60% of the time that I am driving on the freeway and I lower my window half way, when I come to raise it, it goes down, instead of up...I am assuming this could be related to the wind causing resistance and the pinch sensor causing the window to go down instead?

However, this doesnt always occur on the freeway...so I really want to know if this is just me or if anyone else is noticing this?

no way it could be the pinch sensor, but it seems like its a unique situation to you

Default Not sure if this helps your problem, but lower window all the way down then hold the switch up till

the window reaches the top and hold the button for an extra sec. THis seems to eliminate that problem.

Default I have the SAME Problem

it happens to me maybe 30% of the time........

but exactly what he said, if window is partially down, and I go to roll it up, it rolls down, have to "select" down to get it to go up.

then the next time it works right

it's a 2005 3.2

Default Nope, not just him, mine did it too.

I took mine to the dealer and he also just reset the pinch sensor. But I think I read somewhere that this may be a sighn that the window regulator is going bad. Can't confirm that, so don't quote me.
