my 1990 300TE has just started to do that, the drivers side window is acting funky. Won't go up mostly, only at times...I think it's the switch on the console...sometimes it's fine. If it conks out completely I'll just switch the passenger window switch over, that'll probably solve it. And then go find another switch at a junk yard, and I don't even know if the rear window switches will work for the front doors, with the auto lowering and such...anyway...I would work that one by swapping parts first...good luck

That is a completely different system. These are CAN bus based and have motor current sensors to detect end of travel, as well as obstructions.

Thanks for the replys.Tried to reset window with the button,but does not change.Even found the info in the owners manual.Says to hold button,not how much.Putting downward pressure on window while raising it does not change anything,still stops every few inches.
This is almost like a problem i had years ago on american cars where the wipers would stop when they reached the park position because there was a dead wire at that spot.Pulling on the wipers would restart them on a full cycle only to stop again at the start of the new cycle.Window motor seems to run a full circle and then stop before its next cycle.
Maybe disconnect battery and reset all the windows ,seats ,ect...Kind of scared to end up with a worse problem.
Thanks
Rich

Just to close off this thread,fist Thank Everyone for the help.
My feeling is that the window motor is defective,like an open in the electric motor.Motor was just replaced a month or so before i bought the car.I tried a wiggle test on the wires when the door is fully open,but no change.
When i fix the a/c window will not be that much of an issue,as it does open.
THANKS VERY MUCH
WHAT A GREAT SITE
Rich
