Hi all
Apologies if this has been asked before
I've bought my daughter the above car. the drivers window goes down as it should but is intermittent going up and requires flicking the switch a few times to eventually close it fully
Any ideas for what to look for to repair it
And get it closing as it should
Thanks
Drivers side window 2006 c3 desire

Hello Samtan829
A couple of suggestions to try.
Firstly, some silicone spray around the window seal, wind the window down and lightly spray inside the groove where the window runs.
This should make it easier for the glass to move, if the problem is the motor overloading and stopping you should see an improvement. It's a good thing to do anyway.
The second thing is to try swapping the front window switches. If the passenger side is OK, try it on the drivers side. The switches can be gently prised out and then remove the connector from the back.
I'm sure that very shortly someone will be along to post some pictures with more detail on how to do this
Let us know how you get on.

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all the evidence and pretend you never tried
