Default Front driver's window up then after halfway up, down by itself. WTF?

On my way out I stopped to chat with the cute neighbor walking her pooch. When I pulled away I pulled on the button, window goes up and 1/2 way up, it decided to go down. Must be Audi gremlins or demons or spooks, who knows?

Maybe your A8 wasn't finished talking with the cute neighbor lady.

Default Pinch protection at work.. the motor detected a extra load and decided to reverse the window

Happens when the tracks are dirty or the gears are not as lubed as they use to be.

Default ^^^^ my thought exactly. Got any pics?

Not of your faulty window, and not of the dog.
