Window not retracting on time when opening door

[helifino16]

A friend with a Braptor showed me that when he unlocks using his Fob, the windows all retract in anticipation of people getting in. He locked it and the windows all popped back up. Now THAT'S something I'm sure that all the rest of us would be interested in. Hopefully it's something that can be pushed out to us? <eagerly waiting>

Went from the wildtrak to the raptor, and this out all things is one of my favorite features. Hopefully it’s a software update they pump out for everyone

mine doesn't react quick enough sometimes when i'm walking up and unlocking the car. It would be nice if ford had left the spot on the handle where you can push with your thumb to unlatch the door and let the window drop before pulling it open.

What I try to do is push with my thumb above the handle to unlatch and let the window drop and then open the door. not ideal but keeps from pulling on the window.

I do the same or use the fob to unlock and the windows auto drop for about 30 seconds.

Yes, I have the same thing, what I do is hold the door in with one hand and pull the door handle to let the window down before I open the door.

The cleanest spot on my whole car is a little circle from my thumb above the door handle. We came to the same "solution"

See this is definitely a good solution, but as mentioned in a previous reply it doesn’t help with the fob free unlocking, but this better then nothing

Happens to me. I think it’s just a bad design. First generation of the new Bronco.

Does anyone else have an issue that when they open their doors the auto window retract is a bit slow and the widows hit/get stuck as you open the door. Sometimes I am afraid I am going to snap the window in half especially when it’s cold. I mentioned to my dealer they recognized the issue but said they haven’t seen a fix yet.

Anyone else have this problem and get it resolved?

put your windows down to bottom hold switch 10 secs
put up to top do the same then check short drop

What do you mean hold switch? What switch?

I did this for the 5 second routine and it did nothing. I tried the ten second treatment as you suggested and it di nothing the the window still comes down later than the door opening causing the glass to drag on the weather stripping. The hold the door while puling the handle method is the only way to resolve this until such time that Ford comes up with a solution.

I just started having this issue on my driver’s side door in the last few weeks.
I have no idea what changed.

Had this issue on passenger door. Took it to dealer and they adjusted in just a few minutes when changing oil. Said it was no big deal to fix.

My '23 drops them when you unlock the but it's still annoying. Couldn't they have just come up with a good seal against the weather stripping without tucking the window under the top's lip?

I was considering lowering the window half an inch when I park in my garage to eliminate all this when at home.

Same issue. @Ford @Bronco I’ve had my Bronco since June and this has been an issue since September.

Define slow? Take a video. A guy posted one a while back complaining of the same thing, he soon realized that’s literally how all broncos are after several comments, and that there was nothing wrong with his. Could be a real issue, yours could be like everyone’s.

It really bothers me the way the windows go up and down a little when you open and close the doors. It’s the only way to get the windows tight to the top. I’m guessing it was a major blunder by ford and they have no other way for the windows to fit tight to the top. It’s only a matter of time before these broncos get some years on them and the windows eventually start to break or they don’t get a tight weather seal with the top.
