I suspect there are no sensors as such. I can't be certain, because I've no knowledge of how the D2 electric windows work. But, from an electronics design point of view, the most common method is to use current sensing to detect an obstruction. Current sensing may also explain the need for the controllers to 're-learn' (by holding the switch to fully open/close the windows) whenever the battery has been disconnected.
