Seriously I have been in hundreds of sierras and never seen one with this,I think the last one I drove was K or L reg and it didnt have it.I am genuinely confused now,is my memory that bad No I am 100% sure they dont have it,but yours did I am sure someone will be along shortly with another opinion

Modern one touch systems need to be retaught the end stop limits, open window fully and close fully several times, turn off ign and then try again.

Usuall fix

I have one touch windows on my car (only the fronts) but its a feature of the alarm 'smart windows' I don't think any saph came with one touch windows irrespective of year

As said they never had such a feature, if you have then it would be part of an aftermarket alarm system, that needs to learn when the window is fully down and up.

The way to enter the alarm will "Learn" will be specific to your alarm.
