MINI Cooper & Cooper S Windows Don't Drop

There are a few cute characteristics of your MINI that may cause you some concern, chief among them the habit of the window not dropping when you open the door. Although there is always the possibility of a more significant problem, it is most likely caused by a “confused” system. Some of us flick the window switch just to make sure the windows are all the way up, which confuses our Minis into thinking the window wasn't already all the way up in the first place. The solution is to press – and hold – the window switch in the up position. You can do this with the door closed (as a preventative measure), or when they're open (if you realize they have not dropped when you open the door). You'll know this little tip has worked when your window drops down slightly. Simple, eh?
