Tried to reset the Windows after battery change but...

Both go up and down now but when I try to open or close them with the key only the drivers side works.

Tried re setting the passenger side on its own but no luck.

Any suggestions?

It's odd but you kind of have to keep going with the window reset procedure. I changed battery last year and lost all that. Tried the window reset method loads. Worked on passenger side but not drivers. Like witchcraft it's now working again!?!

All I say is good luck!

Did you move the mirror switch selector to the passenger side , I sure that selects which window your trying to reset,

No it doesn't, just the window buttons.

Initialization is performed on the power window switch of the relevant door.
Requirements for correct initialization:
• Initialization with engine running
• Convertible top, doors and windows closed

Initialization comprises:
• Erasure of initialization
• Reinitialization

An initialization must be performed:
• In the event of malfunctions, e.g. no one-touch control function, no opening or if available no comfort function is possible
• After the power window drive has been replaced
• After work is carried out on the power window mechanism
• After a power supply interruption, e.g. disconnection of the battery or disconnection of the power supply to the door
• After the door window glass has been removed and installed or replaced
• After adjustment work on the door window glass
• After adjustment work on the convertible top
• After replacement of seals

Erasure of initialization:
• Open door window glass fully
• Operate power window switch in "Open" position four times within 10 seconds

This erases initialization of the power window, anti-trapping protection and toll function are inactive.
Check whether one-touch control (toll) function is inactive, otherwise repeat procedure.

Reinitialization:
Avoid a break between the two steps!
• Open door window glass fully
• Operate and hold power window switch in "Close" position (second switch stage)
• Once the upper end position has been reached, hold power window switch in "Close" position for approx. 2 seconds longer
• Open door window glass fully
• Operate and hold power window switch in "Close" position (second switch stage)
• Once the upper end position has been reached, hold power window switch in "Close" position for approx. 2 seconds longer

I've been finding it difficult to reset the driver's side window after disconnecting the battery.

After following the above procedure, the passenger side reset OK, but the driver's would not allow the "one touch" function and didn't auto close fully with the roof closing. After numerous attempts, I read that someone suggested to open and close the door three times after doing the above procedure. I was skeptical, but it worked ! Maybe it was a fluke, but it might be worth a try, if only to get rid of your frustration.

Mine had stopped working after battery issue. This procedure worked perfect for me. Just need the mirror switch to be in correct position for the window you are re setting
