Windows opening randomly

[Newtali]

Has anyone had any issues with windows opening randomly when locking or unlocking the car? It's intermittent, but I keep finding them open! Only had the car 1 week.

Welcome to the forum @Newtali.

There is an issue with the windows apparently opening by themselves which is (usually, possibly always) caused by the driver (or maybe a passenger) accidentally touching the window controls when they get out of the car. The positioning of the controls seems to be a bit non-optimal in this respect. However I haven't heard of them moving by themselves when the car is actually locked or unlocked.

Are you absolutely sure this isn't a case of someone touching a window switch?

Ours did that a handful of times when new. Either we got better at not touching the button area or the switches may have bedded in over time.

You could always try exercising all the switches 10 or so times with the car powered down just in case it's the switches being too new ?‍.

Yes. Ask for a BCM update.

I don't think it is that as I've never had that issue with my old fiesta where window controls were in the same position. It's going in to the MG dealer tomorrow to have a look at it. Thanks.

But did your Fiesta have "one touch" up and down ?

Yes, it was exactly the same. Also they didn't go all the way down, just partially. Have had car reset now as I was having quite a few issues so hopefully this has resolved it.

There is a good chance the buttons were pressed when closing the door. The door pull position is poorly designed. No convenient or ergonomic grip.
