My drivers side window is being really weird. It works some of the time like normal. What I have come to notice about it is that it seems to be getting stuck when it rolled all the way up.

I drove around with it slightly cracked for a few days and it worked perfect. As soon as I rolled it all the way up it stopped working.

Anyone seen this or have any idea what it is?

Yea I have the same problem with my passenger side window, it stops when either all the way up or down. If your desperate to get it to work slamming the door will make it work as i learned when it was stuck down at a track day. I cleaned the window motor carbon out of it too as I found a DIY guide here and that didn't correct it either. Unfortunately I think it could be the motor shot.

Minor bugs in our beaZts are: 1. Power window motors acting up. 2. Gas latch release glitch. 3. Hatch door button hard to depress--to open it. I emphasize they're minor things, 'cause they won't leave you stranded on the road, so relax & just fix 'em as they pop up. Oh, I forgot!, also, the hatch door struts are puny, and you may get a bump on the head by the hatch door. Still a minor thing. Enjoy your Z, dude!

Thanks guys! I figured it was going to be an issue with the motor and plan on trying to clean it out. Just wanted to know if anyone else had this issue and knew for sure that it was the motor.

Been enjoying my Z for about 3 years now. I have been lucky and have not had any problems with it until now. a month ago I had a sensor go out. My rear rotors are shot, my window wont roll down and a speaker just blew. When it rains it poors!

I figured out my window AUTO roll down problem. First you should try cleaning it with electric motor cleaner as in the DIY thread.

I did that and it did nothing.. I bought a new motor, still nothing..

Then I had an epiphany and looked at the window switch Male prongs for the connector... I discovered 1 was bent and not going into the female side I then took some needle nose plyers to straighten the prong and cleaned the window switch prongs with Electric motor cleaner, just a slight spray and plugged it..... BAM!! Its perfect!! It lowers again when u open the door, and doesnt automatically fall when u close the door....

Im going to post this in all the window threads to people can check there connectors too.. It could be happening a lot... No need to pay a dealer 500 for bs....

Side note: I noticed where it did bend the prong that female hole on the connector is smaller than all the others which could deflect the prong easily if not careful.... Leading to our cars being ****ed up by dealers techs etc. Then we discover the problem later.
