The reason for the failure of the Bora's driver-side window button may be that the copper sheet on the button circuit board has flattened and lost elasticity due to long-term external pressure, leading to malfunction. Here is the relevant introduction about the 2021 Bora 200TSI DSG Comfort Intelligent Connect Edition: 1. Powertrain: Equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged 4-cylinder EA211-DLS engine, paired with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. 2. Body dimensions: The length, width, and height are 4663mm, 1815mm, and 1462mm respectively. The wheelbase is 2688mm. 3. Chassis: The drivetrain is front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.
I've encountered this issue with my Bora as well—the driver's side window button malfunction is quite annoying. Possible causes include a faulty button switch itself, wear and tear from prolonged use, or oxidation of internal contact points leading to unresponsiveness; wiring issues such as aged wires, loose or corroded connectors causing short circuits; or a blown fuse, which is easy to check in the door fuse box. Additionally, a malfunctioning window control module could cause the entire system to fail. For a quick fix, you can first check if the button is clogged with dust—try cleaning it. If that doesn’t work, take it to a professional shop instead of disassembling it yourself, as you might damage the door panel. Regular maintenance to avoid grease buildup on the buttons can prevent some of these issues. Safety first—don’t force it while driving.
