Anyone seen window problem where it does not drop when opening door?

[tourproto]

So my Bronco was at the dealer on Friday and they found no codes thrown for why the window isn't indexing. They are raising the issue with Ford. The dealership says they haven't seen this with any other Broncos at their dealership and are at a loss why this is happening.

I am having this problem on my 2 door, it is too slow to roll down and catches the rubber at the top when you pull. I have to warn passengers to hold the door and wait for it to drop before they pull. The dealer said its "normal"

My window does not drop AT ALL. See the video in my original post. When you shut the door the window closes on the weatherstripping and leaves a gap. I have to manually lower the window and raise it up again in order for the window to be properly seated.

In addition the "one touch" operation also stops working. You have to keep the window button pressed in order for the window to continue to go up or down.

Sorry I did not see the video. It sux you have a worse problem with yours.

I hope you got this resolved. My question is why did they even design the dam window this way??? No other vehicles have this indexing that I know of. It's the only thing I don't like about these Broncos. Do the back doors on a four door do the same?

My rear passenger window did that one day but it was as simple as restarting the Bronco and the problem stopped. Wish it was that simple for everyone else though..

So my issue persisted across restarts, but I finally found the solution and that was to manually re-index the window as described earlier in this thread.

It has happened twice in the last month or so and the manual re-indexing solved the problem immediately. Just another one of those things (like restarting the infotainment system) that you just have to learn how to do as part of Bronco ownership I guess.

At least the fix is super easy once you know what to do. It is now just a minor annoyance that I can fix in 30 seconds.

I just don't get why have this silly "feature"

They have to have some sort of window drop because of the frameless doors and the need for a rubber "lip" on the top of the door to keep the wind and rain out at speed.

Many vehicles have used the window indexing for decades . Fords version seems to be a little problematic though.

Sometimes issues with this feature can be traced to a bad switch at the door latching mechanism. The switch at the door striker tells it to index up/down and may be failing.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

was there a solution found to this? just started happening to my '21 driver's door

If the window reset doesn't work try again a little longer holding the button. If it still doesn't work you might have to tweak your door alignment. Super simple to do, Northwest Bronco has a 5 min video on it. It is fixable, and there was a software update that is supposed to make it less frequent, but you know how that goes.

I just had the same problem, I could not reset it. Dealer said they were able to take care of it, but at least it is now in my vehicle history

They also repaired my stalk/turn signal - when I turned right sharply the turn signal would hop over to a left hand blinker. Unsure of what part was replaced

I've had this issue for maybe last six months? Took it to the dealer, they couldn't replicate but performed all the window resets (I really think they did too), no luck. Kept happening. Then when the update for the windows came through a couple weeks ago, seems to have stopped...

I have to be jinxing myself, I know, but that's what it looks like.

Here is the link to a Ford website with a solution to the problem. Other people may have different resolutions, but for me there is no error code that shows up on the OBD but the windows stop working correctly and the workaround works.
