XK8. You will need to reprogram the window. To do this you push the window down button and hold until you hear or feel a click. Then push the window button for the window to close and hear or feel the click. This should be done when you are in the car and the door is closed. The window should operate properly by opening a slight bit when the door is opened and close when the door is closed.

Most often caused by a weak battery

cheers for the help. when i purchased the car there had been a problem with a battery drain caused by the phone .the battery has been replaced and the phone disconnected ,could this have been the cause of the window problem
