window getting caught when opening door

[djn3400]

I had this problem with my rear passenger door window. Had it into our Ford service adviser to fix, and the shop followed the service bulletin on the issue involving adjusting the height of the glass. Fixed and service department did a great job. Done the same day.

I took mine to the dealer as well and they also adjusted all 4 windows and eliminated my issues. All done in the same day I dropped it off.

I want to make sure I read the instructions correctly. Essentially you should have roughly 3mm of window in the weather stripping when the door is closed?

holy shit, you're telling me the dealership can fix the window problem when opening the doors????

Ugh. Someone forward the instructions for that to my dealer, please. They kept mine for almost 3 days and couldn't fix it. They're ordering replacement back window motors instead. I don't have the heart to tell them yet that it probably will not fix the issue.

Count me in the 'rear passenger window slow to drop club'. Noticed it today. Not sure if its been that way since I picked the car up a few weeks back, or if its a new issue. Really only carry my 3 y/o in the back and, thankfully, its not the door where his car seat is. We'll see...

Out of the blue today it seems like the other rear door is slow to lower now as well. Temps dropped into the 20 last night (no ice - I know this is another issue). Why would this happen randomly? Possibly temperature related?

Mine does the same and is noticeably different on cold days. As in the door is open and then it rolls down.

I honestly feel like it's on an old-school plunger switch and in the cold it binds or drags more.

Same issue here, my passenger side rear door seems slow to drop, going to have dealer look at it when I drop it off for an oil change in the next week or so

Ours happened during the freeze and still happens randomly. It's not our first frameless window either, but it's the first to be slow

Yup. I've had other (traditional) convertibles and never had an issue like this. Its not bad enough to turn me off on the car, but only because its not a daily driver, and only because I'm not in/out of the those doors. Thankfully, the driver's door is fine.

I noticed a new TSB # SSM 50477 was released on this window issue. I can't find the full document though. Curious if they report any new info. @flip or anyone else able to post it?

Some 2021-2022 Bronco vehicles may exhibit a side door window that gets hung up on the upper door weatherstrip when opening the door causing resistance to opening. This may be due to an incorrect alignment of the side door and/or window.

For me, this is the most annoying "quirk" of the Bronco. Thankfully, we don't have a lot of passengers (aside from toddlers and dogs), so my wife and I are just living w/ it for now. We've gotten used to popping the latch, waiting an extra second for the door window to drop, and then opening fully.

Thanks, looks like they just updated it to include 2022 models.
