Unhappy Help! Auto Window gone Crazy

Hi, i have a 99 GS 300, When i auto close my rear left window it closes but comes down on its own, Its been like that since i bought never really bothered me because i wouldn't roll it up on AUTO I'd just hold the switch up til it closes.
However, Recently i added an aftermarket alarm system with remote start/door locks, so when i arm my car which locks the door, but the rear left window comes rolling down??? told the stereo shop guy and he tells me the alarm is not set up to my windows? it doesnt evan have that option,
I think some how its connected to the factory window/sunroof "auto close" you know like when you hold the factory remote to lock position or hold your key in the driverside doorlock till all windows shut.

danm long story.. huh, anywayz how can i make my rear window stop from doing that ? btw they also told me all my door lock motors/actuators were bad so they put some aftermarket LOUD @ss ones, is it possible for all 4 of them to go out ? please help?

You have to reset the window regulator. I can't remember how, but if you search you will find a thread on it.

GregMT , what i meant by that was, the factory has a system that allows you to roll up all your window and close your sunroof simply by locking your car with the remote and holding it, or turning the key to lock position and holding it there for a few seconds, thats where my after market alarm triggers it i guess , But im gonna look for the regulator rest Thanks infamous

I know you can roll the windows down and open the sun roof by holding the UNlock/Disarm button. I was not aware that you could roll them up too with the Lock/Arm button. I will have to try this.

DO NOT DO THIS.


holding the lock button serves as a panic function, your alarm will start to go off.

The only way to simultaneously close all the windows and sunroof from outside the car is to insert the key into the lock and hold it in the 'lock' position.

Usually resetting window regulators requires holding the window switch in one position or the other. My passenger window does the same thing right now, i'm trying to figure out how to fix it.

This is what i suspected. i was too lazy to go look at my keys earlier but I think it even says that on the remote. oh well, thanks for the heads up.

that would def be a negative asgs300....it DOESNT allow you to roll up the windows via the remote...only the key in the door lock which seems silly but i dunno maybe they had a reason for this

Also happening here, I cant either open or close the window , I would have to hold the button to do either one.
