Ls400 Window Problem.

[mikeyv]

Yesterday I thought I'd try the open all windows and sun roof trick, holding the unlock button on the fob for a few seconds.

That worked fine, however, when attempting the reverse, holding the close button, they all closed fine, but the O/S/R then opened half way again.

It now does it whichever way you close it, manual or auto - closes fully then rebounds to half open position - the only solution is to dab the button until it's 99% closed (so closed to all appearances) and leave it at that.

I had a similar problem on a nearly new Avensis, but that was a sunroof losing its memory and Toyota fixed it while I waited under warranty, so I assume it was a simple button pushing exercise.

Anybody had this problem, or knows the fix?

Hi Mike

First point of call would be to check around the window seal to ensure its not kinked or something in there which is preventing the window from closing fully

I don't know if I've read this or dreamed it but try holding the window switch for a further 5 seconds after the window fully opens then the same when you fully close.

Thanks Mark and Steve, I'll be taking another look this afternoon, assuming I can prise Mrs V from the driving seat, and I'll bear your posts in mind.

Mrs V, by the way, was reluctant to get an LS - too big, automatic, etc, etc, - till she drove it, now I need dynamite to get her out.

Take a bow Steve, after checking as Mark suggested and all looking well, I did the routine you suggested, and the window wound up fully and stayed there.

Thanks again to you both.
