Ive found I cant hit them both at the same time, thats the only time I have problems. Something about how the electronics work, it doesnt like it. I havent been brave enough to rip apart the door to see how to go about rewiring it, as its not *that* annoying. If I have to roll both down at the same time, I just make sure to depress one fully then depress the other fully. Works about 90% of the time.

I sort of recall pressing them simultaneously causes the passenger's to not automatically lower.

I've clicked it to roll up automatically in a hurry and found later on that the window was still down right as a storm started...about had water damage from this.

Careful guys!

Having the same issue. I though I wasn't pushing it in fully. Guess I'm not the only one

Umm stagger the switches. Press one then press the other. Done.

Have it, couldn't care less. God forbid I have to press a button a second time to get my window to automatically roll up.

Now, if I had a manual window and it slid back down from the top and would only stay shut if I rolled it up a second time, then I'd be annoyed. But... it's a button.

Not sure if this has been said:

I read in the manual that depressing (or pulling) the switch half way will cause the window to act out of automatic mode.

Automatic mode only works if the switch is fully depressed or fully pulled.

Maybe people are improperly operating the switches and the window is acting in a way they don't expect.





Personally I have always hated the "automatic" mode in windows

Usually mine does it two or 3 times in a row before it finally goes up or down, and it does it about half the time I'd say. It's pretty irritating. I'll probably go to the dealer and ask that they replace it. Subaru seems to have so much trouble with these incredibly simple features that most companies have had for 20 years now... I don't really understand it

I'm well aware of how it works, been using them since 2006.
Fell in love with it.
This car I need to be extra conscious whenever I hit up/down in case of dust/rain/freeway/etc.
Auto is awesome once you learn it.

I have found that I have to be a bit deliberate with the passenger side switch. So I just press both and hold for a moment and it works fine every time. If I try to do it quickly then the passenger window stops most of the time.
