    Little trick the workshops charge, and charge well for. If your windows don't go quite the way up/down, or if you have pillarless doors and they don't drop when opening, you need to reset the datums of the motor. It's really easy to do it.

    First identify the problem window. With the engine running, press and hold the down button for the window. Even when it gets to the bottom, keep holding it for 10 seconds. Then pull the switch to push hit back up, but keep holding it again after it's gone up fully for another 10 seconds. Hey presto, windows reset.

    Works for Toyota's too!

    tbh I think it does work for most cars.
