possible window problems for 06 Mini?
Hi all!
Last night coming home, we noticed that our 2006 Mini Cooper's windows were slightly open. I swear that I never touch the windows since it was raining heavy upon parking the vehicle. So I thought I probably pressed something which made the window open. Now, when me and my wife were parking the car in the garage, I noticed that the window was open again and I asked my wife if she touch the window switch and she said she did not, it seems that the window seem to have a life of its own since it seems to open by itself. Any thoughts?

It hasn't done it since I've been extra cautious about how I press the remote button.

hmm, thats what I keep telling myself. Hopefully this is the issue, I will try to observe if this thing happens again. I will probably drop by the dealership if this thing happens again. I also have a bmw but I guess they do have major differences in terms of the automatic roll down.

Is it coming down lower than the quarter inch the window normally lowers to open the door?

Again, now that I'm cautious about pushing the unlock button, it's stopped.

My '05 does the same thing very intermittently, so it is not an '06 issue. I don't think it is due to holding the unlock switch, but it happens so rarely, you never know. Both windows are down just a fraction, suggesting they didn't return to fully closed. Not open an inch or 1/2 inch....just a few millimeters!

hmmm, thanks for the input family. So far so good for today. Hopefully the keys are just sensitive, I happened to dropped my set (keys) twice already as well as my keys sometimes is in my pocket so hopefully it does not get pressed at all. I am just concerned about this happening when my car is park in the train parking spot and the window left open.

This has happened to me in my '06, and I can vouch for the fact that it's a result of pressing the unlock button on the remote too many times. I usually press it non-stop getting to the car with a passenger to make sure that the passenger's door unlocks. If you do that, though, it could activate the remote window function...I was wondering the same thing until it happened while I was close to the vehicle...

had the same issue again
oh well. I did noticed the sensitivity of the unlock button. But now, it looks like everytime I put the window down and pull it right up back, it looks like the window has its own mind when you close the door. But through experimenting (which I should never have to do) is that the window is so darn sensitive that if you put the window down and then you pull it back up somehow when you close the door, the window will not close entirely. I did this test 8 x and a row and 5 of those test failed. Arrgh.
