Adjust window drop for door opening?

[TX-Hans]

Is there an easy adjustment that can be made to adjust or reset the window drop operation when opening the door? Window for the rear passenger side does not drop enough/or quick enough when opening the door causing it catch on the rubber seal on door frame.
(I could bring it in for warranty service but if it's a quick fix such as a reset or something, I'd rather do that than mess with a dealer service visit.)

I don’t think your alone here. If there is a fix it will have to come from the factory. I hope I’m wrong but going to the dealership for a fix is going to be a waste of time from what I have read about this issue.
Design problem. If someone has a fix I’d love to hear it. The two I drove both did it.

Have you tried resetting the windows?
Use the switch and hold it while lowering the window and KEEP holding it for 5 seconds after window has opened. Repeat the same procedure for closing it, making sure to hold it up for 5 seconds.

I think going to the dealer is important. At least to get it documented as a manufacturer defect. Whether you get it fixed then and there or ask them to contact FORD is another issue.

Good luck

I wish the windows would drop when you touch the sensor on the back of the handle that auto-unlocks the doors. Instead it waits until you actually pull to drop them.

Thanks. Didn't know about that fix and just tried it. Didn't correct it, unfortunately. I looked at the operation a little more closely and the window seems to lag just a few milliseconds before dropping down but the lag is enough to cause it to catch on the top edge of the door/window gasket. Probably going to have to bring it in unless there is a different fix to try.

This!

The window reset procedure won’t fix this issue. All my windows do it but the rear passenger is the worst. I had someone get in the other day and they thought they broke something.

Actually, now that I think about it, aren’t some of the base models missing this ”unlock” sensor on the handles? Maybe since the components aren’t on all trims, they had to skip that.

This!

Right!?
If you notice opening from the inside, you pull the lever and the window drops before you push on the door. When you open from the outside, you're literally pulling the door open with the handle as this sequence happens. Ford decided to put the opening sensing on the latch mechanism. This makes it work with both inside and outside handles. If the outside unlock sensor was the trigger, you'd STILL have to have a latch sensor for the inside opening
I dunno how it is for the Mustang, but apparently this isn't an issue.

Following. I have the same problem. Rear passenger window doesn’t drop as quickly as the other 3 and, as a result, the window catches on the weather strip as the door opens. Window reset procedure didn’t help me either.

Interesting that it's also only the rear passenger window for you as well.

I have same problem with my passenger front door! WTF!

My drivers window was not dropping, did the reset sequence twice. I read hold button for 2 sec down and up, repeat. Works correctly now.
