Window memory issue

Window memory issue
The memory of my windows doesn't last. I have a 2001 XK8 convertible. When I set my windows it remembers but after opening the door a couple time the window won't close completely and keeps going lower every time I pull the handle. If i set it again it will remember but then do the same thing again. Has anyone else had this issue?

it ALSO is from poor connection at the cannon plug between the body and door if your model was built this way. Usually just unscrewing it and then reconnecting is enough to clean and establish a good connection again. Past the battery do this and check all do this with the module connectors too. But the door has shown over the years as they get older is a known issue too.

I have a 2003 XK8 convertible that i love, but I have just had window problems somewhat similar to those discussed, but here is my question:
The window will not go all the way up... period. It will lower with the handle opening, but not return... it continues to get lower with each handle opening.
When the up control is pushed, the window will go .. maybe.. 2/3rds up, but makes sounds that seems as if it is trying to rise but something is stopping the window from rising all the way.
Battery on trickle charger and seems fine as all lights, steering wheel motor, etc... and all other windows are fine. It is just this one window that seems to want to rise up but is prevented by something in the window as it 'grinds' to a slow stop.
Any help would be appreciated!! Many thanks, Richard

Thank you Graham
I decided to take the door panel/card off.... as I'm coming to the conclusion that this will be necessary. At first look, things are pretty well hidden behind the metal structure of the door... I'm not sure what I'll be able to see.
The diagram is a great help. Have others discussed this same problem?
Again, many thanks, Richard

Yes. Look at the nut on the outer side of the door.
where? Scan the diagram above. See the notch on the far right side of the window track? That's about where this nut is..when it loosens, window gets cockeyed.
if not that, ensure there is no debris in the horizontal window channels. I had a stray piece of glass in there years after I shattered the window when the above nut loosened , and I just kept pressing the up switch (not a mistake any one would make twice).
failing that I'd suspect a worn window regulator. Good be a is the are easy to replace.
