Default Rolling up window

WTF

How do you roll em up to stay partially open? It's a pain, since it seems to wanna roll up/down ALL THE WAY when I want to crack it open. I eventually do it, but I usually have to attempt several times to leave it cracked open!
Any tips on this? Never had this *problem* with other cars..real easy roll down in small increments..this baby wants to go ALL THE WAY every time.

Your not talkn' to somone who's *uninitiated* to the world of cars...in fact I used to club track a Porsche. The window is SUPERSENITVE and wants to go ALL THE way as soon as you touch the switch..I try and catch it to stop it and it then reverses on me. Not a big deal just wanted to know if this is common.

Sure as hell sounds like it. Ive seen this mechanism on cars for the last 10 years..

Its simple. The button has a 2 stage switch. Push it a little and itll roll the window until you let go. Push it all the way past the first step and it rolls it all the way automatically.

You can also push it all the way so its rolling all the way down, then hit the button..in the opposite direction a bit to stop it.

****ing Porsche owners. Get your head out of your ***.

Lol, these guys are being brutal!

Hahaha, I actually had the same issue when I first bought mine. It just takes getting use to. Like the previous poster said, there are two stages in the switch. You just have to get use to how light you have to press the button to only go down a little and not engage the second stage to make it roll down all the way.

Totally valid question, to this day I still can't set the window height correctly without a few tries.

Thank you!

The problem was mainly going UP..wouldn't stop when I released it.

Im sorry I'm not going to be as brutal as these other guys but these switches have been around for awhile so you'd think if you've been around cars for awhile(porsches also) you'd know this. It is a 2 stage switch, i guess you could have problems with it but I've never had an issue with it at all. Hope you figure it out though.

Np, I also want to point out that you can multi-quote posts by using the button to the right of the "quote" button rather than individually posting your replies.

When I first got mine, I'd have the problem of pulling the auto-up switch too quickly. This makes the window start to go up briefly, then go right back down. Just took a little time to learn the cars tricks.

I have to agree that this car's window switches are a bit finicky. But you'll get used to it. I also find it strange that the 'lock' symbol lights up and the 'unlock' does not.
