Default 2017 Audi A4 Driver Side Rear Window Issue

I can't seem to replicate it and it's really bothering me. The rear window on the driver's side just rolls down by itself, about 2 to 3 inhes - can't replicate it all the time but it's happened at least 4 - 5 times. It seems to happen randomly but only when I first start the car after it's been turned off for a bit. Anyone have similar issues? Thinking about taking it to the dealer but afraid they may say they couldn't replicate it.

Also, I just realized my brand new car had a bunch of micro abrasions that I couldn't tell in the evening - is this something you think the dealer would fix? Any recommendations would be great. Thank you.

Best,

Most "detailers" at dealerships cause more damage than they correct. You'd be much better off taking it to a professional detailer for a correction.

No issues with my car. None with the windows.

And dealership detailers would be sketchy. I'd take my car to a professional retailer for paint correction/swirl mark removal.

This happened to me a few times... hasn't happened in weeks now but I was confused when it would happen. Never could figure out why/how.

Default Rear window rolls down by itself!

Yes! This is happening to me. 2017 A4. When the car has been turned off for a while and I turn it on the driver rear side window rolls down about 1/4 of the way down. I can't replicate it and it only happens randombly. Reached out to the dealership, they couldn't replicate the issue.

I wonder if resetting the one-touch might help? I've had a few different VW/Audi window issues that were fixed by this.

Per p. 47 of the owner's manual:

Correcting power window malfunctions

You can reactivate the one-touch up/down function if it malfunctions.

- Pull the power window switch up until the window is completely raised.
- Release the switch and pull it up again for at least one second.

It's easy enough to try...

I posted about this a few months ago:

https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a4-...rting-2913476/

In six months of ownership, it's happened less than 10 times, mostly in the first couple months. I think it's happened only once in the last couple of months.

Not repeatable enough to make it worth a trip to the dealer...

It's happened twice to me in six months of ownership, both times in the morning when I started the car.
