Drivers window

[TDIDog]

Has any one had this problem? Sometimes if I lift the outer door handle a couple of times the window will just go down by it's self. Also some times when I open the door to get out of the car, the window will open part way by it's self. I will use the key in the door lock to raise & lock the door. Could it be a relay? Thanks for any help

Probably the microswitch in the door handle.

Do you have any suggestions how to repair? Any help would be apprieciated.

Thanks

If the car is a coupe and the issue appears only by standstill (not when driving), the window motor unit should be the culprit in most cases.

What could be wrong with the motor unit? Sometimes it acts up when I turn off the ignition & take out the key. But when I put the key in the door lock & turn it to lock the door & raise the window, it stays up fine. Any ideas would be appriciated.

Well you've got two choices...either take it to a stealer or remove the door panel and have a look. It is most likely either the motor or microswitch...

What will I see once I take the door panel off? Will it be obvious? Everything is fine when driving. The window stays up, & works fine. Just when I get out the window will some time(not always) go down part way. Like I say, if I put the key in the door to lock & hold for window to go up, it stays up fine. A real mystery. Any pics out there of whats going on in the door?

Thanks again for all help.

Cheers
