Default Dealership/Window Question

Well you all know when you open the door to the car the window goes down slightly, then you close it and it goes back up. Well the windows werent going back up earlier, they would go down a little bit, and just stay down slightly.

I took it to the dealer and service guy came out, lowered the window, banged the doors a little bit and it was fixed! Then he says I need to reprogram the windows for $90-$100, or just keep banging the doors. So is what he saying true? Do I need to "reprogram" something? The car is under warranty so I dont mind it, just dont want to waste time.

If it is under warranty then you dont have to pay jack.

All they have to do is get to the motor and hit the reset button. A temporary fix that will probably work for awhile. If your getting it for free let them do it, if not them do it yourself, because it's easier than earning $100.

If you had bothered to search, youd find plenty of threads on this issue. Resetting the windows will not work. The window motor builds up all this black carbon crap that keeps it from working all the time. You can either clean it or buy a new motor, whichever one ends up working for you permanently. I've had the same problem and since cleaning it, it's worked 100%.

Both window motors are brand new, Ive only had them for about 3 or 4 months and both windows did the same thing at the same time.

Whoever designed the windows for the Z needs a swift kick in the ***.
