Hi all... I have a little concern.. maybe it's minor.. but, today I took my car to the car wash for the first time, and then went to the LB Rally. Anyhow, I opened the window on the driver's side.. and when I wanted to close it, it kinda dragged. It did this like 3 times... I wanted to make sure nothing was stuck in there like a business card or something from the rally, and there wasn't. Anyhow, when I parked the car and tried it again, I rolled the window down a little more.. and then it went up ok. What is this? Was there just something stuck in there or something? Or was it water? Have any of you guys experienced this?

hi there

actually i have been wondering if my car was the only one that did this..i guess not. I think that it is mostly due to heat, my car only does this when it is really hot out...maybe yours does too, I have not gotten an expert opinion on this however cause i keep forgetting to ask my dealer but thats my only explanation. It happens so rarely that it doesnt really bother me much.

Oh, good! Yeah, because it was a really, really hot day at the Long Beach Poker Rally. It seemed like maybe the rubber swelled against the window or something. But, I check it everyday, and it appears to be fine. I guess it doesn't like hot weather at all
