I used my Daughters Citygo yesterday to drop her off at the train station, when winding the window down, the motor appeared to fail half way down and wouldn't go up or down. After a couple of minutes it started working again.

 

It was a very warm day and im wondering of the motor overheated and a thermal cutoff kicked in.

 

Has anyone else had this issue?

The motors normally stop by sensing a current overload at the top or bottom of travel, but if your window gets sticky, or if the seals are grubby or worn, the motor can draw too much current and stop. 

 

First, try giving the glass a really good clean, then check the seals.

 

If all is well, you may have a failing window motor...
