Can anyone suggest what is causing my rear window to keep popping open? (That's the split window on the boot of my touring 535D MSport /55 plate).

It just keeps unlocking itself when I put it into drive! This is a new problem. I checked the central locking fuse, and it is okay. If I lock the doors (internally) before driving off, it seems to stop the problem, but I'd like a proper cure if there is one!

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.

Joel K, Leeds.

Hi,best to replace the microswitch button on the glass itself,they are prone to water ingress and causes the glass to pop open,also they can cause ur battery to go flat overnight as it can keep the car awake. You can disconnect it quite easily,but it can be tricky to open again once disconnected.
