Featured Replies

well, title says most..

my 2013 driver side window switch is starting to mess up, hard to roll up, so better replace the switch...

my car has 4 power windows, but the driver door only has 2 buttons to control the front doors...

is it possible to buy the 4 button version(and facia to mount in)

or is it not controled via can network, so i have to get a similar 2 swith one?

TIA

Are you sure the two-buttons switch is correct and original for your car (I don't know, just seems very odd) - and are you sure it is the buttons that are making it hard to wind the window up?

Best always to have the engine running when using electric motors (in case your battery is in a lower state of charge or health).

Have you tried cleaning (and lubricating) the window channels as that can help at least easy things a bit.

If the motor(s) are tired or it's other issues have a look and ask here, free advice willingly given. - https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/497084-window-motor-repair-service/page/8/#comments

Good luck.

Vi.

Yes here in Denmark. And i guess other countries aswell. The first model year of the rapid. And the seat version got cheaped out and only got a 2 button driver side switch.

It is the switch. It is getting wobbly. And I have to hold in. Certaoway to activate.

All other is good

In that case it might be that other stuff wasn't fitted to enable four-button control at the driver's door or it is there but needs scan tool 'coding' to operate with four-button switch, but again I don't know, but the source I gave you probably will be able to get that build information given your VIN.

Good luck.

It may depend if the wiring is present. I would have a look at switch and see if there's any extra wires going to switch that aren't being used.

You could perhaps try some switch cleaner lubricant on the switch.

ETA: Denmark will probably have its own version(s) of this.
