BMW WINDOW Anti Trap Error HOW TO FIX 

Ohh Timm, yet another marvelous vid, you are just a great source of brilliant, well explained and presented information on all manner of things related to E31 E63/64. Thanks again.

Tim, I have not had this problem on my E64 but this is a VERY useful piece of information for resolving what would normally be a nagging issue for which the BMW dealership might charge upwards of $100. Thanks again Tim.

Brilliant, BMW Genius strikes again. So helpful and knowledgeable.

Hey it worked! A gnarly storm caused a giant leaf stem to wedge itself just so between my driver window and lower weather strip disabling my one touch. Your video saved the day and alleviated the severe panic attack I was suffering from not knowing how sinister the issue truly was. Like you said . Just a few seconds... problem solved. Thank you. 2011 e90 335i.

Great job as always Timm! Greetings from the Suwannee. 😎💪🇺🇸🗽❤️

This literally just happened to me today. Just left it in the garage. But tomorrow I'll know what to do ! Thanks!.

Thanks for another useful tip, so much value on your channel! I look forward to the day you document a brake fluid change on the e63/e64, I've been putting this off on my 650i for a while 😏

Great video. That function was driving me nuts. Works great now.

wow, thannnnnk you! We have the opposite here in Canada, warm-freeze freeze-warm rain snow and of course more freeze. Anyway this simple fix worked perfectly and immediately.

Splendid!! Straight to the point 👍👏👏

Good trick. Thanks. Greetings from Spain.

Thanks very helpful and quick to the point

Hi Timm - Brilliant! Thanks 👍😀

this worked for me! thanks so much!

Legend all sorted

Thanks a million!!!! This worked great just like you said.

Hi Timm this is Alvin your number one fan. You are the Houdini 🪄 of the 6 series. Great video my friend. 😃

A wealth of knowledge wish you lived near Sheffield after fixing some of my BMW E60 faults, we could turn up at my jam night for a jam.

You are a genius. Thank you!

You’re a god! 3 codes gone!

Big thank you. Saved my bacon mate thank you

thanks tim my e65 was doing this and now it fixed

Thanks for another useful tip

Thanks. My window was stuck down. I thought it came off the runners. It's fixed now.

Fixed my long time problem while waiting for my wife to get in the car! 😜

Oh my god. Thank you so much!

Great, thank you!

I appreciate you sir !!!!

thanks sorted !

Thank youu!!!

thank you it worked on my 07 328i wagon. now just need to make the window on my dashboard display disappear

Thank you

Lubricate the tracks with silicone spray, it will make glass go faster up and down and maybe/hopefully you won't have to go through this procedure. 👍

Tnx life saver

Thanks for the video! Is there any possibilitie to know which window has the problem?

Danke schon! 👍🏻

thanks :)

Is there any lubricant that you could use on the window seals to reduce the friction? Of course it would have to be something that dries and then doesn't leave horrible marks on your windows...

I have a 2005 645ci and my driver door squeeks loudly when rolling down, no issues rolling up. In the winter months I have no problems. But summer months here in the desert, the heat is causing me problems. I have heard perhaps I should grease the guide rail and that the motor was just fine. Can you offer some advice please? I took the car to BMW dealership and actually had the trim seals replaced thinking the noise came from friction (glass on window seal rubber) -but it did not solve my problem. Anti-trap goes off frequently as well...Any advice greatly appreciated!😇

I've tried this so many times but no luck. actually none of my window controls work for any of the windows.. the front passenger window is all the way down and wont go back up. just hear a slight click when i press the down button.

Mmmmm. Very interesting. I have a Mercedes and my left side window sometimes on auto up would stop half way then go back down. I could then manually get it to go all the way up. I sprayed silicone spray down along the tracks at front and back ends of the glass and that seemed to cure it for several months but now it's doing it again. It may have that anti-trap thing in it. I'll have to see because it only does it on auto up.

Without the pushbutton start (I have a '97 840ci) do I turn the key to position 2 or start all the way?

Any ideas on the rear/back window? Will only open/shut 2 inches at a time, tried to reset it via your method for the other windows but no joy! Help required

I have this same problem but ik exactly why because I don’t have the motor or the regulator on the door because it broke I’m just waiting on the new regulator meanwhile I have the window with tape to hold it up I wanna reset the light while the other part gets here would it affect it if I reset it without the new part on?

This did absolutely fuck all lol

Had this problem this morning. Comes and goes. Will try this next time

My e60 window passenger side doest work on auto , did the ant trap reset too, but still doesn't work , what should I check

thank you I held my driver's side window for 15 sec and it went up after being trap in the door

I have 2012 vmw 328i sport line, rear right side window stopped working after i pressed and hold unlock key from key fob? How can i fix this issue please help

Hi, I have a 2012 320ED. Unfortunately it doesn’t work for my window. It is closed and doesn’t want to open. When I reset it (as you do in your demonstration video) it opens, but when I close it back, it shuts permanently and doesn’t want to open. Do you know what to do?

E90 only the master swich work but the other three don't u can role the window up or down with master swich but the swich on the respective windows are not working

I have the issue that passenger window is stuck halfway. Wont go up or down

But yours worked mine won't go up

My window doesn't drop when opening the door and doesn't close back up when closing any suggestions?

my windows goes down but will not go up at all ... I have the same car and color in video !!!

sadly this didn't work for me , i think i confused the window module by disconnecting one of the connectors while the battery was connected (must have sprung back and made a connection) (the window went to the top position with the door open) now it goes down but wont stay at the top to re calibrate, ive disconnected the battery for a bit to reset everything :)

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Unfortunately this procedure didn’t work for me. My battery had died. After boosting it I got the anti trap message for my rear driver side window. The window is all the way up at the moment and won’t move at all. I tried this and it’s still not budging and the anti trap message remains. Any thoughts?

What if the mechanism is actually broken? Can it still be reset?

My rear driver side window is stuck completely open. Resetting it seems to do nothing 😩

This works on Bmw e92 coupes after the battery has been disconnected or jump started..😀

I’ve done this about a 100 times already. Issue remains the same. Window actually comes all the way down.

I have to do this at least every other day so annoying! Especially if u open the passenger door to grab something of the seat. Then have to go through the whole reset just to leave the car parked

Mines is doing the exact opposite it can go down but doesn’t go all the way up this some bs lol

Dry and hot recently?

Mines won’t go up or down

Classic problem with frameless windows, have the same in my 6gt

My E36 Cabriolet did it sometimes. I use gummi pflege to seals and down - up 15 seconds. It has gone for a while. Good trick Also our window motors have plastic flex oring to make softer close. When it is cracked motor start - stop suddenly.

i have a 2009 5 serires bmw and i have this same problem but it didnt do what the video showed and it didnt fix when i press my window button it didnt go all the way it went down little by little and even holding the button for it to go down it wouldnt go all the way dont like your car in the video

useless ... not working at all
