Mine has ceased to drop when I open the door and return on closure - meaning the window doesn’t shut flush when I close the door without some gentle persuasion.

Just trying to establish if this is a common problem that is easily rectified or one that requires a more professional approach :headbang:

The window will drop when the door open switch is seen.
Does your interior light switch on when you open the door? If not, this could indicate a problem with the switch.

All sorted thanks - just a case of dropping the window all the way down and then back up. No idea why it stopped working but back to normal now.

Did you disconnect the battery recently? If so, you do need to wind the window fully down, hold it, then up again as a reset procedure. Odd it didn’t happen with the passenger window too though (and also the clock would need resetting) - best look out for any other dodgy behaviour.
