Do your windows go up/down same speed?

My drivers door doesn't seem to lower quick enough when I open the door so it gets hung up on the upper trim. The dealer said they adjusted it but no change. So today I noticed something... When I auto up/down both windows, the drivers door is quicker than the passenger. Is that normal?

I don't know if normal is the way to describe it but it happens and it shouldn't be any big deal.

It's due to the differing amount of drag caused by the seals. Mine were equal initially (up/down, side to side), but after I got the tinting done, ripped out all the speakers, and put them back together myself, my driver side goes up very slowly. I can tell the motor is straining a bit more going back up. Luckily no scratching/damage to the tint.

If you really want to, pull the door apart, release some of the pressure on the window seals and see what happens.

op- not sure about your specific problem, maybe take it back to the dealer again, as for window speeds- when i roll both windows up the drivers side always beats the passenger side by a half second or so. no biggie tho.

Mine does that to as do many others here from reading. I just pause for 1/2 second before fully opening the door to avoid the issue..

I agree with this statement, you just have to get use to waiting for it to drop. It really stinks in the winter when they get frozen in the up position.
