Auto Window Up not Working...

I don't think you can expect a dealer to look at a window open/close issue under warranty if you have fitted a Reinhold module. It clearly splices into the hood and window system as one of it's functions is to open and close windows with the hood, or in the instance of a hardtop open/close the windows alone.
They will just blame that.

I have the Reinhold and when first fitted I broke my own cardinal rule and used Scotloks and it behaved badly. Random locking and opening of windows, etc. I then soldered the connections and it's been perfect for close to 2 years. Never interferes with window settings and never needs any reset if I remove the battery.
I have the reinhold installed on my M and the windows still work fine,
you have to re-initialize the windows,
It actually tells you how to do it in the cars manual,
Or there is a load of threads on the internet,
From what I remember,
Turn key on but don't start the engine,
bring the windows down fully, Press down again 4 times within 10 seconds,
bring the windows up fully and keep holding the switch 2 seconds after they reach the top (don't let it go the whole time)
Then after 2 seconds bring the windows down about 4 inches,
Then bring them back up and hold for another 2 seconds,
Thats it,
Sounds like a PITA but I had to do the same thing last week as my drivers side stopped the "auto up" thing and I did the above process and its all gravy now

Didnt know you had a reinhold module, check you connections, my bet is one is loose, my driver windows wouldnt go up unless I held my finger on the button, but this only happened after I retrofitted satnav and dislogged sometihng. checked all connections and now is fine
