Default Window valet problem

The windows go up then immediately go back down.
Didn't I read wherethere was an easy, up stop adjustment, done using the key fob or DIC?

Can anyone help?

yes, there is a proceedure to allow the Window Valet (WV) to adjust it's up and down travel to your window (calibrate is what it is called) - I have to do this in the spring and fall, as temperature changes make the windows harder or easier to open and close. If you have the original documentation, the process is explained in it. If you do not have the original documentation, here is a link to it. http://www.topdowntech.com/documents/WV-100.pdf

I've heard of others having some problems and they were solved by simply reprogramming it. Good luck.

I just reprogrammed mine a couple of weeks ago. Works perfectly now.
