I know this has been covered before, I've seen it in the manual (but now can't find it) and a search on the site has thrown up some interesting threads but not the one(s) I'm looking for. So, for the sake of my sanity.......

The drivers window is shutting and then opening a few inches. I know there is a simple but arcane procedure to sort the problem out. Could someone please remind me. (Frustratingly this happened a few months ago and I went straight to the solution. Is this another sign I'm getting old?) 

 

Thanks

 

Close the window, release the switch then hold switch up again for about 5 seconds.
If it opens before you get to the second part see if someone can have a hand on both sides of window to assist it closing.

Thanks Urrell. Of course by the time I went back outside to try and fix it .... it had sorted itself out! That's Skodas - Simply Clever or simply infuriating. You pays yer money..... 

But I've made a note for the next time as it's sure to happen again.

I had a bad attack of 'Dancing Windows' in my first Yeti some years ago, which resulted in open windows during overnight rain on two occasions.  It coincided with several similar reported incidents with other Yetis, and I left a note for myself (on the PC, of course) of the solution, in case of future problem.  (@Paul52, you might remember it, with the prompt, as we are of the same era.)  This is from Speedsport's post here, in 2016:

 

Ignition on (don't start the engine),
Lower the offending window by pushing the switch down (the switch on the driver's door) and keep holding it down until the window's fully open.
Then pull the switch up, and keep holding it up as the window rises and at the same time apply gentle pressure outwards on the glass near the top.
Keep the switch up for a further 10 seconds after the window closes & a click should be heard.
The window should now be reset.

 

Since then, I've periodically gone through a quick 'maintenance' process:  run all windows right down and back up again, right to the stop, on either the fob button or the centre console switch.  Just as a reminder to the Window Elves who wind the hidden handles. 

 

Enjoy your Yetis while you can 🙂

 

I think I may be about to pay for my "Had it nine years and really nothing gone wrong with it" smugness. Thursday it was the driver's side window - which now seems to be sorted, at least for the moment. Just been out to get into the boot and it's locked. The other doors locking and unlocking absoultely fine but the tailgate - not wanting to play. Immediate thoughts of an expensive bill (I'm coming to the conclusion I can have a go myself and then take it to the garage or just save myself a lot of swearing and just take it to the garage). But I get the parcel shelf out the passenger door, ease my creaking bones over the back seat and slide a screwdriver into the emergency release and Bingo! the lock releases and I can get the tailgate open. I try locking and unlocking the tailgate and everything is back to normal....

 

Now I can either worry about what is going on or go and have a glass of wine.

 

Cheers!

Have a glass of wine anyway 🍷

 

The tailgate lock does seem reluctant to release completely occasionally (are ours just at 'that age'?).  It usually releases eventually, following a bit of general button pressing (and a good synchronised fist thump sometimes - a crude method, maybe, but it's the product of several decades of motoring and it can't hurt).
