Default Intermittent Power Windows

Hey all,

Has this happened to any of you?

My front passenger side window will roll down when using the driver's side button, but about 50% of the time, it will not roll up from the driver's side. Reach over and roll it up just fine with the passenger's side control. Other times, the driver's side works. Seems totally random.

Any suggestions?

Very similar issue here but with the rear passenger window... It just kinda fixed itself after a few days but who knows for how long it will stay fixed.

Sorry no suggestions...

Mine started doing the same about 1 week ago.
And its the left rear window.
It doesnt go all the way down when you "one click" with the drivers side window button.

Seems like I'm not the only one with gremlins in the windows!

Next week my car is going in for service, and Audi Taiwan is having the tech from Germany who trains the Taiwan techs to look at my car for another problem, and this one too. I'll let you know if I find a resolution to the problem.

Hey guys i had a similar problem with my 07 2.0t drivers side rear. for a few weeks when i would either put the window up or down it would get half way then it would jerk up and down for a but before deciding weather or not it was going to be up or down. Then one day it just seemed to start working. Pretty weird but it hasn't happened since.

anyone get this fixed? Mine started doing this recently, of course I have 48k, just within warranty. haven't noticed it on the rear windows, though I don't use them often. Definitely on the front two, and happens often, almost as if the button doesn't work, or when it does work, just opens a cm, and then stops...did not realize Gremlins came for free.

I know what the problem is.

Its the plastic clips that raise the window that are broken.
