To crack my windows, I have to just barely jab the button, and then half of the time they power all the way down anyways. The controls are not conducive to rolling the windows down by only an inch or so.
Really? Hmm, your tC may be different. My button has two levels, one you press down and the window goes down, but stops when you let go. If I press it all the way down, there is a point where I feel more resistance from the button and the windows do the auto-down thing. Same with the up function.
No, I don't have that. Interesting. What's your VIN?

You have to have that. All the tCs use the same window switches. That functionality is even mentioned in the tC shop manual page that I posted above.

Incidentally, I tried my windows after reading your post and it was just as I remembered: light pressure up or down = stops when I stop pushing, full pressure up or down = auto up or down. You might just be pressing too hard.

larry flint: I don't really know what you mean. It took maybe 30 seconds to screen capture and post that manual page. My hope is that people will read the page and know that the information is straight from Scion, so it should keep arguments to a minimum.

Yeah, and everyone has the same sunroof, air vents, and stereo cover, but that doesn't mean they all work the same or all have or don't have problems.

It does mean they all work the same. If your switches don't work like mine they're broken and you should get them fixed at your dealer.

yea i told my friend the windows have "pinch protection" and asked him to try it out. he stick fingers on the top of the window and i raised the window up on auto. he went "____! that ____ hurts!", then he asked "i thought it was pinch protection!?"..
i said, "ummmm... idk, thats what people call it. but it works tho"




so really JAM PROTECTION is a better word, not PINCH PROTECTION, i mean if your finger gets caught it still pinches you and hurt...
