window problems

well here's the deal...my passenger window does not close all the way, well it closes and then it just rolls down aboujt 1/4 of a way when in auto mode - i can only close it if i hold the switch all the way up till it closes...i know that our cars are equiped with pinch protection or somehting like that....well i took apart the door and it's almost impossible to get to the window motor without removing it(which i don't wanna do)...i`m guessing that the pinch senson is somewhere around/in that motor....

do u guys know how to get to it without removing the motor from the door...and how to adjust that???

Someone posted this before and I used it on my window. Just follow the instructions on the window that is giving you problems. The button is a little hard to find (just a little black circle) but once you find it you will be set. It is really easy 15 min job.

********

the drivers door window one-touch up function for the window was not working properly. The window would go up to the top
and then retreat about 5 inches back down again. This problem is due to the limit switch needing to be reset which at first
I thought would be a considerable job (to take off the door panel etc.) but ended up being literally a 2 minute job as the
door panel can remain in place. My dealer wanted $85 CDN for the switch reset which I knew was a rip off before I found the

Step 1: Pry the plastic cap up off the bottom centre of the door pull handle and remove the single philips screw.

Step 2: Remove the whole switch panel (in which the door pull handle sits) by prying it up from the back end either with a
flat edged screwdriver or table knife (under cloth) or by hand which is what I did. It is just clipped in so should come out
relatively easily sliding it up at the back and then pulling it back.

You can now see the inside of the door from where the switch finishing plate sat. You can leave the wiring all attached and
simply hang the switch and handle plastic assembly to one side so you can see the inside of the door.

Look inside towards the front bottom of the door behind the plastic vapour barrier you will see a small black switch. It
almost looks like a black pan screw head. This is the reset switch but there is a sequence to now doing the actual reset
procedure. The switch doesn't really feel like one when you press it through the plastic liner which incidentally you don't
need to cut (at least I didn't have to). It is a switch that is only on when you are pressing it otherwise when released
it is off.

STEP 3: Make sure the window is closed (up) completely. Turn the ignition on so the windows are receiving power.

a) Press the reset switch (and keep it pressed in) and open (down) the window completely (manually -NOT with AUTO ONE
TOUCH DOWN FUNCTION).
b) Release the reset switch. Then close the window completely (manually only - NOT AUTO UP).
c) The limit switch is now reset. Easy!!!

This procedure worked for me straight away as I hope it will for you should you have this annoying problem.
The Nissan manual does caution you not to use the one touch UP-DOWN function during this procedure so be warned.

sweet write up. I had this issue with my car, which I just bought so I took it back to the dealer and they fixed it for free, but I was very curious if others had this issue too, great to know I wasn't alone.

hey dude try spraying some silicone lubricant in the run channel of the window--wd40 will work but it doesnt last as long as the silicone spray.
Just spray the side channels and roll the window up and down a couple of times--it should go away

Silicone spray works great. I bought my max with 5 miles on it and within the year it was squeeling like a pig. WD-40 is a quick fix, and quick to get back to squeeling. I put on silicone spray after reading a thread here a couple months back and haven't had a problem since.
