    2005 BMW E46 330Ci Door Glass

    When the doors are closed the glass after 5 seconds lifts up the last few millimeters to complete the seal on the rubber and gives out a small bumping noise. The passenger side has stopped doing this, and occasionally the dash shows the door is open when its clearly closed. Does this mean that the door latch mechanism is faulty ? All very strange!

    Yes, one of the internal microswitches in the latch mechanism is going bad.

    Thanks for yr input. Do know if the whole of the latch assembly must be replaced, or is it possible to replace the micro switch.In any case I assume thatthe latch mechanism must be removed from the car door...what fun..a big job I suspect.
