Gremlin Window in new R56
Starting today and about 15 days into ownership, when I went to close the driver's side window, I lifted the window control/lever briefly, as usual, and the window went up 3/4 of the way and then back down-as if it sensed an obstacle. It did this multiple times and then I raised the window one more time but I kept the window lever/button held up and did not let go. This seems to resolve it and it went up and down normally. However minutes later, the window wouldn't open at all. I drove to my MINI dealer and my Motoring Advisor, who sold me the car, came out to look and it worked normally. All was normal until I got home and again when I raised the window, it went up 3/4 and then back down. Raising it again, I held the button/lever in the up position and it corrected itself again. I hate intermittent issues!!! Someone is the parts department at the neighboring BMW showroom (I was looking for vinyl cleaner), said that it perhaps was re-initializing. Tonight it was fine. One of those quirky things but I love my car. I'll see if it continues to do it and then may bring it in.

I was told by a MINI technician to reinitialize by opening the window and keep the lever/button pressed and hold it for 20 seconds after it has opened; then raise the window keeping the button/lever lifted and hold it for an additional 20 seconds. If that doesn't fix it there might be a software issue with the control module is what I was told but reading here and there, it is a very common little glitch
