2003 G35 coupe driver side window rolls down on its own
Do anyone have this problem? My car did this occasionally for 4-5 months now but due to summer time I have my window down often so I noticed it happen quite frequent lately. I would clicked the auto roll up and it will automatically go up and then roll down a few inches and stop there, sometimes just once but most of the time it will just keep doing it until I hold the button or take my key of the ignition.(While in parked of coz). I called the dealer they told me its something need to adjust so it's not going to be under my extended warranty, it's that true?
I've got the same problem. IIRC, it is the regulator that's off. Vic at Simone's told me he could try a reset but no guarantee it would work. That would cost about 1/2 -1/3 of replacing it. I just lift the switch part way up and the window will go to the top and stay there. There is a DIY thread for this problem on the forum, but I haven't tried it. A search might help.

Tried fixing this problem on my sedan this weekend by resetting the window motor. Didn't work for me so something else is wrong... I've seen some threads say that if the reset doesn't work then the whole motor needs to be replaced; I'm not sure, perhaps it's just some adjustment that needs to be done. Would love to hear from others who've tried the reset without success and what you did after.
I would of liked to have the auto function working, but I've gotten used to doing one window manually so as long as it still opens/closes it's not too bad.

Did you buy this vehicle new?? I had a evo previously that had the same issue and I know it may not relate to the G but perhaps the same concept. It so happened that I pulled the whole door down and noticed that the window that had the problem was somehow adjusted slightly higher in comparison with the other (perhaps previous work done and was not put together properly). So when I rolled the window up with the auto-roll-up.. it would max out and hit the very top of the door frame which allowed a safety feature to kick in and roll the window down a couple inches. So I was able to adjust the metal bar that was holding up the glass slightly lower. Never had the problem again. Perhaps that may be the issue 
I hope this helps.

Talking about pulling the door down lol, I still can't figure it out how to roll the window "manually". I don't have any handle that I can roll manually, how do you do it
"G35fromTO" ???
And another silly question, my 03 Coupe if I hold my remote for 2-3 sec I can roll the windows down remotely. I did played with it a few times, maybe that cause it you think??

For me, I think it's because the switch travel is very short before the 'click'
Mine does it all the time too. One touch up can't be used as a result.
A couple of times it's done it when I've gotten out of the car, ignition off. You have to turn around and look at the car to make window hasn't come down. Dealer has reset it about 6 times for me. I should have made them switch it out before warranty ended.
