It started a week ago: when I open the door to get out of the car, the window rolls down a bit (normal feature). But immediately rolls back up, and I have to close the door to get it back down again, then I open and close it within less than 3 seconds, or else it would jump back up! :bang: This means that everytime I get out of my car, I have to close the door 2-3 tmes, until the window is in its correct position. BTW, the door won't close all the way while the window is all the way up, and I hate doing it, I'm afraid it'll further damage the window and/or door lock.
Am I the only one so far with this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Haven't heard of this problem....my advice is to contact your dealer. They should be able to fix it or refer you to someone who can.

Your owners manual shows you how to recalibrate the windows. I dont have mine on me now but I know I read it in there. Hope that helps

Try this (from the owner's manual). Sounds like you're having problem #2 (second paragraph). Make sure the doors are closed when you do this!



Proper operation of the short drop glass requires that the windows be
calibrated. Though your windows will have been calibrated before
your vehicle is delivered to you, it is possible for the windows to
lose calibration. If a window loses its calibration, your short drop
feature will lower the window, but will not raise it again when the door is
closed. To re-calibrate the window, pull the switch up to raise the
window until it completes its travel and hold the switch up for 2
seconds.

Another possible effect of lost calibration is that the feature
may not lower the window. To re-calibrate the window in this case, lower
the window until it completes its travel and hold the switch down for 2
seconds. Immediately after releasing the window down switch, pull the
switch up to raise the window until it completes its travel and hold the
switch up for 2 seconds.

Perform Short drop re-calibration with
doors closed only. Re-Calibrating with doors open will cause the
window to continuously bounce back.
