Window setting off alarm

Hello everyone! Could use some help, for the past couple days my 09 JCW alarm has been going off with no apparent reason, after sitting and watching the car after locking I noticed the passenger window doing the “drop” as if someone is opening the door, it does it rather aggressively until I’m assuming it sets off the alarm, any thoughts on how to fix?

Sounds like the fix is a faulty door switch, or the wiring in that area needs checking.

you might try the 'window reset procedure' and see if it "unconfuses" the window . . .

all the way down and hold for 5 seconds ... all the way up and hold, back down and hold

things often begin to operate normally thereafter
