My minty 2008 Acura TL has developed her first issue. Occasionally, when I raise the auto-up power window, it’ll stop about 1/4 of the way up, then retreat back into the door.
It’s very intermittent - about, say, 1 in every 50 ups and downs will cause this to happen. Pretty sure I know the cause: dirt or debris interfering with the guide rails, causing the sensor to think that my arm is in the way, thus retracting the window. A possibly related symptom is the window will occasionally squeak when going up and down.
But I may be wrong with this diagnosis, and so I call upon the infinite wisdom of Oppo to confirm: would the solution be to remove the door card and clean out the rails? Like some Oppos, I don’t wrench and don’t have the tools for this, so I’d have to take it to a shop. Have two choices for service: a reputable, reliable indy mech or a local Acura dealer with whom I’ve had good experiences. Labor rates are about $100 for the indy and $120 for the dealership, so assuming it’s a one-hour job, I’m thinking I’ll take it to the dealership, since I have no idea how complicated removing a door card on a 08 TL is. Also I’d likely be able to get a loaner (perhaps a TLX?) if I go to the dealer.
What say you, Oppo?

This wouldn’t have to do with the squeaking but..... As far as the auto up feature, try lowering the window all the way down and hold the button down for another 5-7 seconds. Immediately put the window all the way up, holding the button the entire time and holding after it reached the top for 5-7 sec. This should reset the auto up/down window function’s limits for open/closed.
