Default Window problem

Hi everyone,

I just got my GS300 last week so I'm new to the forum. I'm having a problem with my auto up feature with the rear windows. when it's open all the way, i do the auto up to close them, they just automatically reopen half way and have to do it manually. is this suppose to happen? or is there a way i can fix this?

thanks in advance

As stated before there must be something restricting the windows from closing fully. The windows have a sensor so that if it senses anything blocking it, it will automatically open as a safety feature, like if a child's head or extremity is in the way.

take it back to the seller and have them fix it. i think it has to do with the child safety issue where it senses an object blocking the window.

i believe your rear window senses that there is something there when in fact, there nothing there. the rear windows my have to be re-timed??
