Mini window software fault.
Discussion
Our 08 Mini has just had its first problem.
When you closed the driver’s door window it would go up to the fully closed position, then back down to about 6” from closed. Every time you closed it, back down it went. After many attempts it would stay up.
It turns out that there is a software problem. Mini knows about this and they upgrade the software. The saleswoman who sold us the car was there and mentioned the same fault had happened to her company car. It may be that they do this at service, but our car hasn’t needed its first service yet.
Not being able to secure the car, or rain getting in can be a problem. The fault came on suddenly and without warning.
I would advise everyone with a similar car to ask if they need this software update and get it done when they next go in for service. It didn't take long.
