I have a 2004 Land Rover Freelander TD4 3 door hardtop. When I bought the car the tailgate window was in the up position but pushed outside the window seal and the battery was flat. I recharged the battery and drove normally for a few days until I noticed the window was up, but in the wrong position outside the seal. I lowered the window and then raised it into the correct position inside the seal, only to hear three beeps and witness the window lower back down.

-I have tried the reset procedure many times with no change in behaviour.
-I have removed the top and placed it back several times with no change.
-If I lock the truck and raise the window with the key, it will stay up until I unlock the truck.
-I can only drive the truck with the tailgate window up if I lock the truck with the doors open, then start the truck, get inside and close the driver's door after. The alarm doesn't go off and I can still raise/lower the door windows but the button for the tailgate window stops working as well as the central locking button inside truck...the instant I use the unlock button on the key fob, the tailgate window goes down and we're back to square one.

What can I do aside from the factory reset procedure to get the window to stay up?? Like I said, I didn't realize it but it was staying up pushed outside of the window seal when I bought it...I am getting thee beeps every time I try to reset it. It will always go all the way up with the button but will immediately return to the down position. I can lock all the doors and force it to stay up using the key, but it will go back down the instant I unlock the car.

Please help and thank you!
 
Have u disconnected the battery, reconnected, sat back in the car with the rear door closed, turned the ignition on and powered the tailgate window up till it stops? If it beeps and goes back down then usually holding the button down a few seconds longer after the window has reached the top should sort it. Done mine a few times now.
