    Proper shutting of window

    My 95 M3 has a window switch, motor or fuse that needs to be replaced as it is non-op in the up position but what is bugging me right now is that when I shut the door it does not close correctly and will shut tight then re-shut several times. I noticed if I shut the door from the outside at the right speed at a low point on the door I can get it to shut right quite often but that is beyond my skill level to do from inside the car (LOL). I think I read somewhere there is a micro switch I need to replace. I search for the post for a while but decide to just post here if you don't mind.

    Thanks again to all the great wrenches out there.

    Micro switch that controls that function is on the “B”-piller within the door catch.
