window getting caught when opening door

[jd-ford-hd]

Watching the video shows exactly how "TO" open the door (1st opening) and how "NOT TO" open the the door (Next 2 openings). Intentionally trying to beat the window motor can be accomplished.

You can’t just open the door. You need to pop it open give it a second and the window will come down.

Absolutely Not and with the 4 door it is almost in possible to do that with the rear doors

Had the EXACT SAME ISSUE with my 4Dr Base Squatch on the rear dirver's side door.

This was hugely annoying because my 5 y.o.'s car seat was behind this door. ONLY WAY TO AVOID is to hold the door closed with one hand while opening the handle with the other. Once the window goes down then open.

Ford needs to re-engineer this!

I honestly don't know why they engineered it that way. A simple fix so the window would not get caught up like that is lower the windows slightly already if you are near the car with your keyfob or as long as the car is unlocked have the doors lowered already to avoid that.

Reset the window limits.

Lower window, hold window switch five seconds. Raise window, hold window switch five seconds. Repeat two times. Roll window back up. Exit vehicle normally.

That's exactly what I have done to reset the windows in my G35 coupe. Had to do it when I had to replace the window motors. I think this could also happen if the car's ECU memory has been reset or if its been unplugged from the battery for an extended period of time. Maybe during the factory construction it needed to be reset and never was?

I have this issue on 2 Door Bronco. Feels like windows is going to break when opening the door. any one with same issue?

Not rocket science .... it takes the same about of time for the window to come down as it does to go up..... about a 1/2 second.... just slow down....

Does anyone have this problem on a Bronco with the High Package or Lux Package?

I have a lux OBX and have this issue on my passenger front door. Tried the reset procedure and it didn't help.

I did the reset as suggested multiple times, no bueno. In fact made it even worse. Ill see if dealer can get it fixed. And for those who said just open it slower, lol. To be successful you would have to hold the door in with one hand while using the handle with the other. Needless to say, a huge pain in the ash...

Reset the window limits.

Lower window, hold window switch five seconds. Raise window, hold window switch five seconds. Repeat two times. Roll window back up. Exit vehicle normally.

Cheers!

Worked like a charm

Update: Took it to the dealer today. They took the door panels off and reinstalled the window. Now window doesn’t get caught when opening the door like any other cars.

*Reset procedure doesn’t work. Must have them physically reinstall the window. Seal is not the problem either.

So what does re-installing the window actually change? Seems odd.

in my case, driver's side is 'normal' like other cars with frameless doors. passenger's side is getting caught and wobbles even if i wait 1/2 second to open after pulling handle.

Same, the negative nancy's saying open it slower are either the worlds most tolerant consumers or more likely don't have one yet. My 2018 mustang has frameless windows and it does not have this problem. I'm chalking this up to the growing list of first year oddities.....still love it and still worth it

Glad I remembered seeing this thread. I enabled Global Close on my 4 Door FE yesterday, but the passenger front wasn't rolling up. The window limit reset fixed it. Passenger rear door was okay though.

Reset the window limits.

Lower window, hold window switch five seconds. Raise window, hold window switch five seconds. Repeat two times. Roll window back up. Exit vehicle normally.

Had the battery changed (Dirt Mtn wore it out), and now the front windows aren’t indexing. I tried the reset method and didn’t work. Is this with the Bronco started up or just on? Door closed or open? Dealer thinks it’s a bad switch…

thanks!
