I was having issues with my passenger side window not working. Thought I was going to have to spend money to get it fixed. Found this solution on another message board (mini2.com). I thought I would share the solution. I couldn't believe it, it actually worked  :038:


Solution:

1. With the car in aux or on -- sit in the passenger seat with the door open.
2. Press and hold the window switch up
3. Immediately, while holding the window up toggle -- with your fist -- punch / hit three inches above the large speaker -- three times. <bang bang bang>. Don't be easy on your MINI.
4. Let go of the toggle switch.
5. Press and hold the toggle switch up for 5 seconds.
6. Lower the window completely.
7.With the door still open, raise the window completely. The window should have now "re-indexed" itself.

That is just plain cool.   :icon_mrgreen:

I have been having the same problem off and on with my passenger side window. I'll save this info and give it a try the next time this happens. Mine has always fixed itself so far, but it usually seems to take a day  :093:

I just stumbled on this. Does anyone know if this works on the driver's window? I've been having re-occuring problems since June. Once a dealer reset it, the other times it fixed itself, but it may take weeks!

Thanks.

 :017: :017: :017: My sticking window has always been the passenger side window, but this trick has worked for me several times. Why not give it a try....Don't be shy either, give it a good hit !  and please post your results.

I believe I had to do this once or twice with my old '02 MCS.  Yes, it does work.

you know i dont know if banging on the door really is a good idea. couple of weeks ago i closed my door rather harshly(wind combined with me closing) and it blew my speaker. i took the door apart and its just a cheap paper cone. hte speaker was fine before the incident. matter fact hwen i got in the car and started driving you could hear it rattle. just my 2 pennies.

It has to do with the electric window motor getting stuck.  You want to make sure to tap at your door exactly where it's located.  There should be a few threads floating around on NAM that discuss this topic.
