One-touch up on Passenger Window

My passenger window wont go up with the one-touch feature unless it is already stationary at half way up. My driver's side works as you would expect it to.

The dealer says this is a child safety 'feature' but that strikes me as odd because the Cayenne I'm driving works normally and there's no other vehichle Porsche builds that would be more child concience than it.

How does all of your windows work?

Looks cool but I want to be able to be driving and just tap the window button and have it go up without messing with a key.

yup this stupid thing always annoys me, its like why would you make the passenger window semi auto up, meaning it only goes up continuously from the halfway point, stupid, luckily thats the only thing I hate about the car

Ok, so it is working as designed. I was hoping my car was messed up and I could get it fixed. Really is a STUPID feature.

It's not what you guys think....

I have a 09' Carrera and a 10' GT3. In the Carrera once its halfway you can release the switch and it goes up all the way. In my GT3 it acts crazy on the passenger side. It will come back down if you release even after halfway. It's annoying and embarassing. It's like it has a mind of its own. I just hold the switch till it goes all the way up. But not at the same time as the drivers one or it could go back down.

Anyone else with a 2010 GT3 having odd passenger window issues??

That is what it does, one touch up...just like the drivers side, as well as a number of other things (like horn beeping when locking and unlocking).

rapidsequence is infamous around these parts
i have the same issue with my 10GT3 also. i thought it was working properly before(but wasnt paying attention to whether it was half-way up or not) so i thought the one-touch function was just not working. so it is suppose to be like that??

No, the windows are wacky. It's unpredictable, it may go all the way up or stop and come down. I've just been holding the button for the passenger side until it closes.

I just looked at this closer and it seems like a pretty handy thing. Anyone here have one? Was it a snap to install?
