i cant seem to get my passenger window to stay in the "up" position. if i try to roll it up, when it reaches the top it immediatly comes back down to a half open position. also my auto up feature works no more. **** - this is frustrating. any ideas? thanks!!!

 

Need to replace the motor. had it happen on my R52 in '05 and eventually, the window stuck up and would barely close!

 

No, you don't need a new motor. See post #3 in this thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=140089

 

yup, that was me...had the window issues but reset and its all good

 

tried that, my auto up still doesnt work, when i hold the switch to move the window up- it travels to the top and immediately comes back down to half-way. so you have to "inch" the window as close to the seal as possible.

 

Sounds like you need to bring it into the dealer then. The window thinks it's that it's crushing a body part, so it's automatically opening back up to avoid severing said body part. If you can't reset it, the dealer will take care of it for you.

 

I am having the same issue and I tried "resetting" but still have a problem. Have an appointment at the dealer on Thurs...I will post again once they figure out what the problem is.

Also, I have noticed that the window doesn't go down the 1/4" when the door is opened like it should...errrrr

 

same problem - i feel your pain - your right its a dealer fix.

 

sounds like everyone needs to head to the dealer! If resetting doesn't work then take to back

 

Ok...so the dealer found that my passenger window was not "properly initinalized" and after initanilization, the window is working properly! I am glad!

I strongly suggest all who are having problems to take your clubbie to the dealer and have this done.

happened to me too. Tried the reset button now my window is stuck and won't go up or down. any more suggestions?

 

Another victim of the half down window here.

Like many, my window rolls back down and attempting re-initialize by holding the window switch up doesn't work.

I have to guess when the window is close to the top and stop it before it rolls down again. It took a few minutes.

Just another issue on a new model? Not likely. I bet this window/motor and software aren't new.

 

Sorry to read this.

 

Took mine back when I first got it and had them initialize the window but later, problem reoccurred and they had to put in a new motor. All good now. No worries. Covered under warranty. All good now.

 

I had a problem with the passenger window auto-up and auto-seal functions working randomly. I took it into the dealer and they said that the motors were functioning properly and that there was nothing wrong. Of course, now I no longer have the problem. The dealer made no mention of reinitializing anything. They also said they created a list of folks with window problems and that I am the only one on it for now. I have a feeling that my problems will be back...

 

My wife would say, 'if you continue to have negative thoughts like that, Clyde's (her mini) feelings will be hurt and he'll make the window stay down.'

:D

ok--after 5 times to the dealer my issue is finally resolved--the dealer said MINI posted a service announcement that the software in the 08 models (not only the clubman but the s and cooper models too) is not correct and needs to be upgraded--my husband has the same thing happen to his 08 MCS and had to have his software upgraded as well. So far I have had no problems for about 1 month after the upgrade--crossing my fingers that I never have this problem again.

 

Not to be the bringer of bad news, but thats what they told me too and they said they upgraded my program. The problem then happend for a third time a day and a half later.

My car is there again now and they are checking the motor among other things.

 

Hey jaxsngrl, when did they upgrade your program?

 

I brought my car in for the first time on Saturday, December 6th. They re-programed it and sent me on my way. It acted up again on Monday night, brought it in on Tuesday morning, December 9th, and they upgraded the program then. Kept it overnight- got it back on Wednesday morning and then it acted up again on Friday the 12th. I brought it in right before close on Friday, got a loaner and they still have it (today's the 16th).

I told them to please look into other options because the re-programming is obviously not working. My dealer called me yesterday and said that MINI has ordered them to put in a new window motor. It was supposed to arrive this morning so hopefully I'll have it back tomorrow. Lets hope this works!!!!

ETA: Keep in mind- I have an '08 MC, not a Clubman. When I searched for this topic, it brought me here. From what I understand, this is an issue in all '08 models.

 

Had the problem with my passenger side window not working. My service advisor told me that MINI had a problem with the motors in the windows. they order one, had the car back the next day of course this took 5 days to have fixed.

 

They already have replaced the motor and the actuater (sp?) on the drivers side and so far so good...crossing my fingers toes and whateever else I can cross for luck! Good luck to everyone else too, as it seems that is all that will help at this point.

 

Good to know! Keep us posted!!!!

 

Update: they've had my car 8 days now. I guess the new motor took longer than expected to get in but it has now been installed. I've asked them to keep the car for the rest of the weekend and park it outside since its supposed to be bitterly cold these next two days. They are going to continue testing the window when cold since that is when all these problems started. I know I'm not the only one with this problem but its too much of a coincidence that it started malfunctioning as soon as the temps dropped super low.

 

There is at least three window threads on the same page today, are they related??
