OSF Window with mind of its own

[dulux72]

I have a really annoying intermittent fault

The OSF (drivers side) window seems to have a mind of its own.
When locking the car using the remote it sometimes winds half way down. All the other windows stay shut.

Then when you unlock the car, open the door and operate the switch to raise the window it continues to wind all the way down.

After inserting the ignition keys and turning on the igniton the window then does response to the switch.
Then all of a sudden it will work and then function without any issues

Any ideas where to start ???

It thinks your leaving the key in the car,the idea is you cant lock your keys in the car because the window opens.!

Ok that makes sense.
How can I let it know that I'm not

Not to my knowledge. Its completely random when it occurs

Is there a way to reset the alignment sensor ?

I'd try lubricating the window runners/guides first
