It's an anti-trap feature.  Basically if you stick your arm through the window and try to close it, it'll bounce back rather than cut it off...

This works based on resistance so there may be something making the top of the window stiff.  Wind deflectors are a pain for causing this but I assume you don't have those?  Cleaning and lubricating the window seal is the next thing to try.  If that fails, you may need to reset the auto close function.

The Quick Up/Quick Down functionality is part of the Comfort (4-electric) Windows system. The Comfort Windows system has pinch protection. If the force that is needed to close the window is higher than expected the window will re-open. 

The problem you are experiencing can have 2 different causes:

1. The Force needed to close the window is actually higher than expected. This can be caused by a mechanical issue like for example a worn window mechanism or deteriorated window seals window seals.

2. The windows are not properly initialized. By performing the windows initialization procedure that is described in the owners manual the system detects and stores the exact end positions of the windows. If not properly initialized the window "thinks" that the window is still open while in fact it is already closed (or vice versa).
