auto-down window control V70-XC70 1999

The auto-down function works only 90%. When I press the down switch, the auto-down function starts, then the window stops about 3 inches from the bottom. I press it again and it goes all the way down. So far, this is the only problem I experience with any of the windows. Is this a problem with the switch? Mechanism? I don't really mind this but don't want to neglect something that can grow into something worse. I would hate for the window to quit altogether or have the regulator bind and tear something up.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
David

    You might actually want to take the button unit out the door and take it apart. Mine started acting up and I removed it, took it apart and sprayed compressed air on everything. I took a look at all the contacts and then tested it in the door without putting it back together. Once I knew it worked once again, I put it all back together and I haven't had a problem since. Believe me there was a lot of crap in there when I took it apart and cleaning seemed to have fixed whatever the problem was.

    Good luck.

    I would spray some silicone down the window channels and work the window a few times. Dirt can build up and make the motor work too hard.
