1996 850R Drivers Window Issue

I am having an issue with the driver's side front window.

The window goes down when you press the switch. If you stop half way down, and then press the switch to go back up, the window does not go up. If you then continue to press the switch for the window to go all the way down, the window will then go up when you press the switch to go up.

The previous owner mentioned that the contacts and everything in the switch area were cleaned etc.

Does anyone know what the issue could be and what I can expect in repair cost?

Thank you.

Aaron

It could be the switch but what you describe sounds more like the rear window track has broken and the window is getting in a bind. I have had several of them break but I have been able to repair them with a torch and silver solder. They all seem to break at the same place, at the mounting tab where it is anchored at the bottom.

While you are inside the door panel it is a great time to replace the rollers on the bottom of the window as well.
