Window Problem
On my 05 Mustang GT the passanger window drops down when the door is open like it should but when i close it, the window no longer goes back up. I'm only 16 so i'm not to sure about my car yet and my mom is trying to make me take it to the ford dealership. I would like to know if there's something i could do to try and fix this so i don't have to pay a huge price just to get it fixed by the factory. So any Ideas on what the problem could be and possible ways to fix it would be very helpful. Also if instructions on how to could be included that would be very helpful.
you're 16 and have a gt?!? nice. anyway, i believe the fix is to roll your windows up all the way and keep holdingthe buttons for a few seconds. that has happened to my car a few times; no biggie (I think the manual has the fix somewhere in it too)
Here ya go....from the manual;
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.

TY, 07Stang. I'd have done the same for the OP but I'm at work and my Stang is not my DD so I don't have access to the manual at the moment.
