Does any one else find the automatic window sealing/unsealing annoying when opening your door? The door seems to get caught on itself when opening, just about my only issue with the S197.

Someone posted there's a sensor the tinting people cover to stop the door from doing that.

Actually, I posted that. I said that's how I got it to stop doing it on M3, when the Window tint was fresh. I also do it if I want to sit in the car and listen to the radio with the door open without, "DING... DING.... DING...".

(It's just the little switch that lets the door know it is open, so that it can bing at you, light the warning light, and also make the window go up and down a little). That's how it works on the BMW -- I didn't look, but assume it is the same on the Mustang. (Why add another part when you don't have to).

Hm. I "played" with one recently. It never caught or anything. It just worked great.

Maybe that particular one you "played" with has issues?

I know what you're talking about, the door snags a touch as if the hinge is a touch loose. No big deal imho

Exactly what Kevin said. I played around with mine a bit. It would snag if I tried to open it to fast. I wasnt giving it enough time to come down. Next time I opened it like normal (no rushing it) and it cleared fine. It would only bother me f I was looking for it to do so.

try to recalibrate the windows that might help, check your owner's manual on how to do it
