Problem with power windows
Hi,
I did a few searches, but couldn't find anything on this...
For almost all of last week, the window would not automatically go back up the last 1/4" when I closed the door. It was doing it on both sides, but now both are working fine again?
Anyone have this happen? No use booking an appointment at the dealer unless it comes back, they'll probably just say "They work fine for us"

Thanks Mike I'll check. They would both drop fine by about the 1/4" when I would open the doors, but they would just stay like that even after I would re-close the doors? Like I said they are working fine again now...?

They have to be recalibrated, this happens sometimes if the car loses battery power or maybe for no reason at all.
Here you go, from the owners manual.

Short drop glass (Front windows only)
In order to improve door efforts and sealing, your vehicle is equipped
with short drop glass. This feature lowers the glass when either door is
opened. The glass returns to its closed position when the door is closed.
Proper operation of the short drop glass requires that the windows be
calibrated.
with short drop glass. This feature lowers the glass when either door is

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.
