2008 DB9 volante windows

[Stevedanlynn]

Hello

I have owned my 2008 DB9 volante for about 8 years.It is still under extended warrantee at Stratstone.and due to be serviced and collected by them next Monday 6th March.

I reported to them some years ago that when I press down either of the window buttons the corresponding window comes up ,if I pull up either of the buttons the corresponding window goes down. Stratstone advised me this was normal, all DB9 windows operate this way???, they even sent me a video of a similar car doing the same.

To be honest I don't believe them, it doesn't make sense, you always push down and pull up these type of switches and I would expect the windows to act accordingly, I think its a fault with the programming or wiring or software.

Can anyone confirm that their DB9 acts in the same way or, if not, what could be wrong so I can get Stratstone to fix it.
Best regards
Steve Thomson

That is how they are,always seems the wrong way to me as well, have to think about it every time I use them, Neil

You push forward (which would be down if the switch was horizontally mounted) to lower the windows and pull back (Up) to raise them. Seems perfectly logical to me.

It is very rare for this point to be mentioned, but with the Vantage, I too wish these switches worked the other way around.

That's what I thought but mine is the opposite way - you push down to make it come up
what year is your DB9?

Steven,
Obviously none of my business, but I noticed that you have revealed personal information, including your location. You can use edit if you want to.

Steven,

I notice that you must have thought my comment was sensible, because you have deleted your postcode in your latest post, but it does still remain visible in your original post.

You can do the following;

When logged, in you will see an option to edit at the top of your original post.

After dealing with that, you can go to your latest post and press the delete option.

Almost everyone seems to choose not to reveal their email addresses, but there is a system here to send a message to another member, whilst still keeping the email address private. I am fairly sure that it can be done through each persons profile page, and the procedure is called PM. I suppose that stands for post message or post member. It does need the member to have set their profile, that they agree to receive messages from others.

Thanks Jon39, I appreciate the advice and think I have done it.
