ALSM Window problem
Every one in a while when I close the window it will close then drop down about 5 inches. I reprogram it, as per the owners manual, and its fine...A few days latter same thing. I spoke with the service writer at Champion in Florida and they say they have no idea and would have to pull the door off. Has there been any kind of bulletin on this problem?...Does anyone know of a fix without pulling the car apart?

It's been reported before...
attributed to a window motor.
They don't need to pull the door off, just the door panel.
One big Torx bolt, and the rest releases fairly easily.
The hastle is getting then into the guts of the door, but they are trained to do that.
Kepp bugging them if it persists, to get the window lift motor replaced.

When I reported it to Champion on my last visit, they claimed that they had...
"never heard of the problem" and that they could not duplicate it.
Are they still claiming this?? I hate it when dealers play stupid on stuff like this.

your windows have 2 bugs: (repost from yesterday)
For the bug you are referring to:
Bring your car to the dealership, tell them that the windows have BOTH been rolling down spontaneously, and wont go back up until you reset the windows. AOA has issued a bulletin to the dealerships, and is replacing the motors with different ones, that work. Apparently moisture is getting in the original motors and causing them to screw up. This is affecting 2001+ TT's.
The second bug has no fix yet, but be aware what it is:
When you and a passenger close your doors at the same time, there is a 25% chance that one of the windows will not "roll up" into the door frame. In fact, it will get "confused" and roll down another 1/4 inch. All you have to do is roll it up with the button, it will be fine. AOA is supposedly working on a fix for this, but it has to do with the central convenience computer, I believe. I have had 2 ccc in my 2002, and both have this bug.
Good Luck.
