    Early model electric windows problem - maybe...

    I'm just doing conversion from manual to electric windows. The co-driver actuator is already installed, wiring is missing but powering it directly by a battery will move the window smoothly.

    But.

    How it is supposed to behave when the window reaches its upper limit? Should the motor stop or - just like in my case - should the motor continue to run and the mechanism just rattle as the gear is "jumping"?

      Ok. Badly written question. But what if I keep the button pressed after the window has reached its top position?

        I know what you are describing and that isn't normal. Once the window is all the way up, there is no noise or teeth slipping.
