Default stupid window

The Passenger front window in my Gs is buggin out.. When you use the "auto-up" on all the windows, This one goes up 3/4 of the way, and goes down 1/2. Its pissing me off. Any fix?, or anyone else have this problem

Thanks
J

believe it or not, i have this same problem. i cleaned my window around the top, took a pencil with a cloth on it and some cleaner, and did the inside of where the window fits in the top. once i did that, it worked fine.

Definitely sounds like the auto anti-pinch protection is being set off for some unknown reason. Check around the top of the door where the window stops to make sure nothing is in there that would set the thing off and cause the window to drop back down. Good luck!

Yeah I got a weird noise when it's rolling down also. Kinda hard to describe it huh? It doesn't sound "normal" like those other 3. Doesn't bother me-it still works fine.

Yes, I had this problem...run your fingers along where the glass slides into when you close your window. This is a security feature that when there is something gets in the way of closing the windo it automatically slides down. I found one of the rubber piece (very small) sticking there I just tucked it in with my fingers, and problem solved.
