1. Lift the window. It will move in small steps.
2. Once it is fully closed, lift and hold the corresponding switch on the driver's door for longer than 2 seconds.
3. Lower the window fully.
4. Once it is fully open, press and hold the corresponding switch on the driver's door for longer than 2 seconds.
Done! This is for the pulsed window regulators, whose switches have two positions. Check it by gently pressing the driver's switch. You will hear click-click -- two distinct clicks corresponding to two positions. The first is the pulse and the second is the continuous movement mode. So, each switch has two positions down and two positions up in addition to the neutral state.
Note: this can be done for a single window or one window at a time. This is according to the manual -- somebody check it!
Note: I would imagine that if this calibration is incorrect, then the window may go too far, thus triggering the child safety mechanism that causes it to go down immediately. Otherwise, if the window misses the "low" position, then it potentially can damage the mechanism of the regulator -- someone comment on this!
Alex, you are a star
I've just come online after discovering this problem today (although it's first time it's happened after disconnecting the battery) and I've nipped outside and fixed it.
Thanks, the work you do on this site is very much appreciated.
Merry Christmas
