When trying to close drivers side window. I hold button down. Window will start up then reverse. I let go it will go up further then reverse again. It takes 4 or 5 pushes to get it closed. Any ideas?

 

Are the groves clean try a squirt of silicone in the runners it maybe that it hits a tight spot and then reverses for safety

 

Hello Barney didn't know you were on here, I have just joined. It all seems very straight forward

Hi, Roger been here a while, it is a nice forum no diesels though but lots of good info and friendly members

 

Welcome to the forum Roger,

We try not to be too complicated, but maybe you'ld like to drop by the new members section to say hello.

 

Have you by chance replaced the window regulator? The windows have a anti pinch feature that will reverse the window when resistance is encountered. But if the regulator was changed the motor needs to be "clocked" to the approximate position. Then the window can adjust itself for the range of travel. Otherwise it will act like yours and if too far out of range it won't close all the way.

I have not changed, but I bought car with 70k and it may have been done previously. Where are the grooves and the runners. Take door off. and is it track glass is held in? What about grooves?

 

Before you go and strip it all down see here JagRepair.com - Jaguar Repair Information Resource the runners(some times called channels) are the parts the glass runs up, in this is where to try some silicone spray,

 

Norri, Thanks for the welcome, much appreciated. Posting in New Members area as suggested.

Hey clubairth1, I was gonna' chime in to explain why they were going back down in reverse, but you already covered it. But I learned something new from you apparently, if you ever replace a window regulator, they have to be "clocked" to the appropriate position? Wow, that's interesting. JbB
