CL windows problem

[simonc]

Both the front windows in my 2001 CL600 seem to have a problem. They go up between 30-50% and then stop. If I put them down again they will usually do the same, but eventually they go all the way up. Does anyone have any sugestions as to what might be causing this?

this could be only a simple problem of just resetting, and easy to do yourself. all you need to do if dissconnect the negative terminal on your battery for a few minutesthen reconnect. then re programme the windows in.

You reprogramme the windows in by pressing each window switch up in the first touch position (you will notice that your window switch when pressing has two stages, you press the window switch lightly until a resistance is felt, this is stage 1. when you press the window switch past the resistance (one touch) this is stage 2)

once you have pressed the window up all the way in the first position the press the switch into the second position and hold approx 5 secs . repeat this for each indivdual window (all windows will need to be reset as battery disconnected)

sometimes it can take a couple of attemps. if this does not work then you may have a restrication in the windows runners somewhere causing the window to bounce back (as if a hand got caught in window) try spraying the runners with a LITE lubricant if still no joy get it looked at professionaly

hope that helps

Does this same procedure work for the W208 CLK? I have a rear window which goes up a bit too far when the roof is down!

Thanks,

Thanks,

it does,but if the window is actually traveling up to far on the back window then the stop which is attached the the side rear window has broken/fallen off (common prob). if memory serves me correctly i think the stop is part of the regulator and a new one will need to be fitted. this requires top and bottom rear seats out and side trim out (bit of a nightmare job to fit and adjust up correctly) slk's had the same problem

please only take this advice as a educated guess, you need to have a look into the problem to be sure... but hope it helps

Thanks Mbtechnician, If I disconnect the battery will all the seat & mirror memories, radio, TV, Sat-Nav etc need reseting?
