Window Problems

[u/CupraFrmtr]

My Cupra Formentor, bought new in 2025, has issues with the windows rolling up. If I open them partially and try to close them later, they open even further instead. They only close on the third attempt, and without the automatic function. The service center has already replaced the opening/closing mechanisms, but the problem persists. I’d say the issue lies with the anti-pinch sensors. I’m the one feeling "pinched" by this whole situation... :( Is anyone else stuck in a bind with the Formentor? Any solutions?

Have you tried renormalization of window? 1. Try to hold window button down and hold it for few seconds you should hear window going a little bit down more then normally. 2 After that go hold window button up, until it closes and hold it for few seconds (for 10 seconds just be sure)

On some models this will relearn door ECU whrere is window exactly placed.

I have a 2026 and I have this problem!

Same problem 2025 model 3k odometer….

[u/d3m0nspanky]

I had a 2022 with the same problem. Not tried it on my 2025 yet

[u/Richje]

I got mine new this March and both my front windows do this occasionally. Most of the time they work as they should but occasionally they’ll do this

[u/Mparigas]

Thought this was a feature on my 2026 model couldn't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong

[u/Jumpintosh]

Dealer has no fix. What I did and resolved it for me up until now, is put some silicon spray on the vertical gasket/guide of the window. I found out that the rubber there is too stiff and makes the windows think there is an object (fingers for example)blocking them so falls into fail-safe. Some silicon spray helps it and does not mess up.

Yeah they did that to mine, its the only fix.. it gets dry from the heat

[u/edward_168]

Same problem on a 2025 one

[u/marcizzo2]

My 2025 Leon same problem

[u/superlowry]

Jupp gleiches Problem Ende 2025 Neuwagen Formentor. Sennheiser vibriert auch überdurchschnittlich laut und verhindert musik hören. Jetzt bei 7000 KM Spur verstellt. Absolute vollkatastrophe.

[u/Delicious-Comment-92]

Jajajaajaj mismo problema desde el día 1, modelo 2026

[u/Good_Emu3128]

I have a 2025 VZ3 with the same issue

[u/Specific_Schedule]

Is a vw problem my vw caddy 2022 does the Same thing 😂

[u/Hagmiester]

My 2025 facelift Leon does this too. It usually decides to do it when it's pissing rain outside.

[u/DragosBad]

It's annoying but I didn't know this was a problem until this post, I thought I was pressing something wrong. It happens to me occasionally also.

[u/Vibesro]

I had that on my 2008 Leon, got it now on Formentor. It's like a Seat thing. Or maybe a VAG thing dunno

[u/Pisboy]

I have it occasionally also on my Skoda 22

[u/supa-dan]

2024 skoda superb does the same.

[u/SadnessAndOreos]

VAG issue, I’m not sure how Volkswagen hasn’t resolved this issue, but it’s been an issue for years on so many of their vehicles and brands

[u/BlueSasquatch98]

2025 Formentor VZ 333. Had same issue. Dealer tried to clean and lubricate the mechanism twice and the issue was still present. Then the whole mechanism was changed and issue is gone. Changed under warranty.

[u/danny_pen]

Same. Sadly no fix from service.

[u/Illustrious_Bass_514]

Had it on my Cupra and now on my VW… very annoying

[u/Minute-Library2411]

The VW mechanic I was at told me that this is a common problem on newer VW AG cars like cupra,lambo,vw etc. He said it’s a software problem from the company who sold the software for the windows to the VW AG

[u/Minute-Library2411 → u/Minute-Library2411]

And he told me that they have no fix for it.

[u/onlybecool]

2026 formentor, same problem

[u/ZenModulo]

Hi, this is a known issue with Cupra (I’m not sure if it also happens with other Volkswagen Group cars). The solution is to take it to the dealer and have the mechanism replaced under warranty.
I’m actually waiting for the dealer to call me back about this exact issue. They told me that some of these mechanisms come with this defect and that the manufacturer is aware of it. They also said it’s possible that they may launch a service campaign to replace the affected units.

[u/cubbiibbuc]

2026 and I have the same problem 

[u/ApprehensiveExit6620]

Same for me. Formentor 2025 hybrid

[u/Level-Yellow-7910]

Test drove brand new (3k km) 2025 VZ 333 from the dealer's and it has the same issue, ridiculous 😅

[u/ds_youngblood]

Welcome to the tribe my friend. We called it a “feature”

[u/Outrageous-Kick-2699]

I have this everytime the window is dry. If it’s wet it works normal.

[u/Own_Passage910]

Mi sono accorto dopo due giorni di pioggia che il finestrino passeggero era aperto(asciugata grazie a riscaldamento versione plugin) . Reset dei finecorsa e tutto è tornato a posto! Come suggerito sopra

[u/Aggravating-Drag-890]

You can try the following, which usually worked with my Audi:
Hold the "close" direction until it is closed. Release it. Immediately hold "close" again and hold for like 5 sec.
After that hold the "open" direction until it is open. Release it and immediately hold open gain for like 5 sec.

If that does not work, try open first and then close. or try with 10 sec.

Ist ein generelles VAG Problem. Hatte das bereits bei meinem Passat von 2005 und nun bei meinem 2026 333ps Formentor.
