2. Peel off the sticker that hides the reset button of the power window motor.
3. Press the reset button while opening /rolling down the window. Don’t release the reset button while opening / rolling down the window. Do not use the auto-open option.
4. Release the reset button.
5. Close/roll up the window by lifting up on the button and holding this up position until the window closes.
