So my front driver's side window does not always fully go down? It's not all the time, it leaves it sticking up above the frame about 1/2". Roll it up and down a few times and it finally goes into the frame.

Is anyone else seeing this issue? Is there a correction?

Mine was recently malfunctioning out of the blue...window wouldn't drop when door opened and auto-down/up stopped working. With the window in the full up position I pushed and held the switch to fully open the window and continued to hold the switch down for 5 seconds, released then pulled and held the switch to fully close the window and held for 5 seconds then released...all is back to normal. Not sure if this is an official procedure but it worked for me.

Does it seem to be hanging up on the felt or can it be easily moved back and forth by hand? My first guess is that the glass is binding in the felt runs in the door. Might need to have the lower mount screws loosened, window dropped then tightened back up. If it seems draggy going down could need the felts cleaned or some clear silicone sprayed down each side to help reduce friction.

Thing that needs to be done is door panel taken off and watch the window going up and down to see if there's anything obvious.

That actually is the official procedure to reinitialize the windows.

That is the official reboot.

It does not seem to hang up or move easily. Will try the reset today.
