MG4 Windows dropping?

[siteguru]

Just as a counter-point ... I've not had this happen to mine (yet).

Are the window buttons that sensitive, that you could easily activate them unintentionally, can't remember from my test drive

Me neither.

I wouldn’t have thought that the window buttons would be exclusive to the MG4.

I wouldn’t have thought that the window buttons would be exclusive to the MG4.

It could be a combination of sensitivity and placement, but to be fair I can't really see how I would press them by accident while exiting the car (if possible ;-) ).

Today came back to car after shopping to find passenger side rear window fully down. Luckily not raining. Had the car a month and it's not done this before. If it does it again I'll report it to my dealer.

Nope I’ve never had this, had my MG4 since launch.

 

[tsedge]

I will look out for this.

I've not had this happen yet on mine. (Had mine just over 3 months).

We had this happen within 3 days of picking up car, rear near side window was completely open on returning to the car after going to the shops. If it happens again we'll refer back to dealers as there does seem to be a trend here judging by all the previous comments.

That's exactly the same window which fully opened on my Trophy. Not done it since.

Same here, same window. Happened to me yesterday Parked on my drive. No logical reason for it to happen. Had the car since 11/1/23. SE SR.

This also happens to be the button I accidently pressed once when getting out of the car!

On separate occasions I had off-side windows drop half an inch or so. Maybe I had accidentally touched the rocker switch as I exited the car.

Usually I need to put a lot of my weight onto the ledge that houses the rocker switches as I squeeze out of a tight parking space. I wonder if my weight on the ledge is affecting the switches.

I now check all the rocker switches as I get out of the car. I haven’t had a problem since.

This is sounding a lot like the button is being inadvertently touched when getting out the car, the fact that on a lot of occasions it is the same window points to this for me (rather than being an actual fault)

Yes, I am thinking the same.

This has also happened to me a couple of times, and can confirm it is my fat fingers.
Also due to the fact that the buttons are placed exactly where I push the door to open. And also there is no handle on the ledge to grab hold of, just took me a little time to adjust not having a handle on the door.
Now I have no open windows, accidental or otherwise.

Passenger window wound fully down when we returned after visiting a friend's house, definitely not about accidentally catching the switch.

Some scrote had also leant into the car and stolen the SD card from our dash cam too. Such fun.

I find that the windows will auto-open from a single press (of the driver's door buttons) ... so you might have touched the switch without realising.

If this is a bug, it might be related to software version, though I think probably not to do with the entertainment unit, so hard for us to check.

Has anyone had this who got their car recently, say in 2023?
