Window one touch control not working

Hi All
My Megane II no longer lets me drop the windows by one touch using any of the window buttons, I can still hold the button down to control the windows. Could this be a problem with the button switch or a cable :?: anyone experienced this before :!:

It seems to me the seals or solenoid that control the oil to the pulley are knackered and oil is drainin...

Window Regulator

My Megane window regulator was repaired free even though the car was out of warranty. I understand most good renault dealers will do this for cars up to 5 years old . :cool:
