window not operating

I just purchased a 2003 mini (my first), and the passenger window quit operating. I have already tried to reset it, but I just get a clicking sound. Are mini's notorious for power window failures?

Give the interior door panel a good whack just above the speaker.

Woohooooo....thanks.

Whacked the door 4-times above the large speaker and the small speakers. The window works now. Thanks for the info.

Love it!

A friend of mine rides a Harley ... he says "If it can't be fixed with a hammer, it's an electrical problem."

Sometimes the hammer really does work eh?

I have tried the "whack" to no avail. My passenger window won't budge from the up position, which means the convertible top won't open! Not good here in Florida. This is my second Mini with this window problem.
