As is the norm today, the knobs to raise and lower all the windows are accesible from the driver side door. My problem is when raising the windows on the passenger side and rear, i still have to hold on the the knob until the windows are completely closed/opened. Unlike in the driver side where i just need to flick the knob/switch once and the window goes up/down automatically. Incidentally, the motor on the driver-side window has been replaced, before i got the car, so i have no idea how it(driver side window) functions before.
Any advise guys?

Yes, in most vehicles only the driver's side window will have an AUTO feature.
At least on Nissans, it's both AUTO UP and AUTO DOWN driver's window.
Majority of vehicles today only have an AUTO DOWN feature.
I've yet to see a vehicle with an AUTO feature on all windows.

Of course this feature implies that window movement is completely under computer control, not with the usual hardwired motor-switch circuit. In fact BMW uses an electronic encoder on each window motor assembly for the computer to determine actual direction (up or down) and speed ... and possibly exact position of the window because it requires some kind of initialization procedure (on each window) for the feature to be activated.

OT, add ko lang.
BMW models that do not have the auto feature on all windows are coupes and converts like those from the 3 and 6 series. The rear windows do not have the auto-closure feature.

Wow, that's progress. Sa Pajero ko dati, Auto down lang sa driver's side (no auto on the other windows).
Kaya tuwang tuwa na ko sa Auto up and down driver's window ko ngayon.
