Passenger window not behaving...

Guys...

My passenger window glass has stopped sealing after opening - by which I mean it drops the quarter inch or so when the door opens, but will not go up to make the seal when the door is subsequently closed. (If I am inside I can use the toggle to make it go up, but the auto part seems hosed). Any ideas?

I did, and the ones I went through seemed to all be about the windows that go almost up and then descend about halfway, not just the little bit of movement when you open and close the door.

Hey Oceaneer, Had the EXACT problem. Went to the dealer where they reprogrammed using the window initialization procedure (with the GT1). Get to the dealer ASAP. They are used to it by now: when I called for the appointment they were familiar with this problem.

I have the same problem on my driver's window. The dealer did the initialization procedure and that fixed it for about 3 days. Since then, the problem happens for about 4 days, then fixes itself for about 3 days, then repeats the loop. The dealer is too far away (90 miles) for me to do several round trips to leave it there overnight, so I'm living with the bug for now.

I have the exact same problem.. passenger side window won't close, it'll come back down 1/2 way.

this is the 3rd time that has happened in a year, i'm going to the dealership to get this fixed.
