Question for 07 MCS owners

The passenger door window goes down slower than the driver side window. I took the car in to the dealer to have it checked out and they claim that this is normal. Would you guys tell me if yours go down at the same rate? I would really appreciate any help you can offer. TIA!

I have a 2008 mcs and don't recall any difference in speed. However, on my 2001 eclipse, my passenger side is definitely slower than the drivers side. I think this might possibly be a common occurance.

Thanks! It really does not bother me but I just want to make sure it's not a sign that the motor is giving out.

No MINI is exactly alike. Some are laid back and others are hyper. Hope your MINI's quirks fit your personality!!!

I took the car in to the dealer to have it checked out and they claim that this is normal.
There's a difference between "normal" and "nothing to worry about."

Meaning, I don't see a difference in window speed as "normal" at all. But I would guess that until it stops working altogether, or fails to open/close all the way, the dealer doesn't want to know.

My opinion, naturally...

Mine too.

Yes, the passenger side window has always been slower on my 10/07 build R56S. As long as it doesn't stop working all together, I'm okay with it.

I have a 2007 mcs and mine dose that a lot. Sometimes when I roll them up the passenger one stops for like a second while the drivers side keeps going.

The passenger window on my 2011 MCS (born 11/19) goes up just a tick slower that the driver side but not by much.

Thanks everyone for the replies! I guess I'll wait and hope that the window being slower has nothing to do with the motor going out.

Could be that the finger you use to put down (or up) the passenger window is slower!

I always use my thumb for the driver, and ring finger for the passenger windows. And yes, the passenger window is slower up and down compared to my driver window in my 2010 MCS.
