Ask an Expert..... » Rear passenger windows won't close. (Electric Windows)

Hi Guys.
I've had a look but can't find anything.

I have just purchased a 53 plate warrior. Today I have noticed that the rear passenger windows happily go down but won't go up.
They'll travel up an inch or so, then automatically drop back down. The only way to get them up is to physically lift whilst using the switch.

Is this a common thing?

Any advice for me?

Thanks again.

and get a bic pen top and put in between the glass and rubber seal and drag all the crap out. You can pull it up by hand while operating the switch to close it

very common , anti trap mech thinks there is something in the window and sends it back down again
usually happens from lack of use

Thanks guys.
In a rather useful twist of fate I have gallons of silicone spray for my gun maintenance. Hoorah.
Thanks again, I'll get on it during the week.

If that don't work then swap the switches round at the rear. See if it's the switch.

They all stay down. They do this from factory fit.
