Default Right window problem

Hello to all,

Has anyone encountered there right window going down all by itself while driving down the road?

I have a 2007 coming into the shop that the owner stated that the switch is kinda sketchy and works and then may not.

But I thought I would see if anyone has had this issue and comment on what it took to repair it.

One easy place to start is the outside door pad switches. They are a common problem because they get dirty or corroded inside and cause several strange window behaviors.

There are a couple videos in here, posts 1 and 10:

Thanks for the reply....and knowing that the windows drop a little bit when the door is being opened..I can see the validity in how they could cause for a problem.

I found out today that the right window switch in the right door panel is inoperative and the switch for the right window in the drivers door panel works sometimes.

The door open pads has nothing to do with the windows..I had strange problems with my right window on my 08 and i changed out the complete drivers door control switch unit and that was the problem...Good Luck.
