Are the windows supposed to go all the way down?

My windows don't go all the way down - there's a little bit still peeking up on all of them ('06 MCSC - someday I'll make a sig). Since the car is still fairly new (750 miles now) I'm guessing it's a feature and not a defect, but still...

Thanks,

Paul

That's just how they are. Apparently the engineers couldn't squeeze an extra 1/4" out of it?!?!?!

As with your wiper issue, this is normal.

My 03 MC did the same thing. Windows did not go all the way down. Got hit in the drivers door and the door had to be replaced. The "engineer" at the body shop apparently didn't know the window didn't go all the way down...so on the new door the window goes all the way out of sight.
