Yeti drivers door window problem

Hi folks,

This may well be an issue which has already been discussed and solutions posted. This is just my personal experience.

I had a problem with the driver's door window on my Yeti - it would close one shot but not open one shot and I had to hold the switch to get it to open all the way down. I looked online for a solution but all I could find was advice about resetting the limits of the winding mechanism and removing/cleaning or replacing the switch. I tried all the reset fixes I could find but none of them cured the problem. Then a distant bell started ringing in my head. Previous experience from over 20 years ago, when I had a Mk.4 Golf with a drivers window which would open one shot but not close all the way one shot, suggested a simple solution which I used to fix that car. I thought it worth a try on my Yeti. I fully opened the window and simply sprayed a fair quantity of silicone lubricant down both the front and rear window glass channels, then cycled the window fully up and down 6 or 7 times to distribute the lubricant. The window now works as it should and is one shot opening again.

Definitely worth a try before you start pulling switches out and cleaning or replacing them. A 5 minute fix for the price of a shot of silicone lubricant.

I hope this advice helps anyone with a similar issue.
