Here's how I did it:

1. ignition on (last position before starting but I'm not sure does it really matter...)
2. Press and hold window down. When window reaches the bottom, push the button 3 times (1 elephant, 2 elephant, 3 elephant)
3. Press and hold window up. When window reaches the top, pull the button 3 times (1 elephant, 2 elephant, 3 elephant)
4. then do the 15 cm lowering and closing as I wrote earlier (actually I tested it again and now I lowered it around 3 cm and it worked, so it propably doesn't matter is it 5 cm or 12 cm :) ).

Good luck :thumbsup: !

VICTORY IS MINE!

Thanks so much for all who gave advice in this thread, especially Dice who had the final method of solving the problem.

Windows are now working properly. Hurrah!

Solved!!!!

Super star! Thank you!
I had tried a few ways of doing the windows reset but this actually worked a treat! I had given up on it as I had tried a few times. Decided to simply close the windows after the third attempt and leave it (not noticing it was fixed!) went to do the window up later on today and realised that it auto upped and that the first stage of the button also worked! Miracle!!

Thank you again! I have a complete car again!

Thanks again to dice. Disconnected my battery and needed to reset the windows and performing the above on the drivers side has fixed both sides auto up and down.

An old thread but Dice, you are my saviour. I think chanting the elephant mantra to oneself whilst doing the reset helps! Strangely, another procedure worked for the passenger window - maybe something to do with the new regulator I'd installed on driver side. Either way. Thank you :D :D

I have a 2004 Z 3.0i.....You have to lower all the way down and then raise the window and hold for 1-2 seconds (hear the click from the door) four times in a row for the window one touch to reset. Once you've done it four times, lower it all the way and then try the one touch raise... should work now. The anti-jam (as in your head is between window and roof) is set now as well.....

Note.... everytime you disconnect the battery you will likely need to repeat this.

Thanks dice. worked for me after lots of attempts. Will see if it stays fixed now. It was after disconnecting the battery that it became a problem.

I was going through all the re-setting options for my passenger side glass auto-up (toll) only to find out a text from TIS stating:"Cars built prior to 04/2004 don't have auto-up (toll booth) option.". :headbang:
