Default Drop Windows

Have any of you noticed if your window touches the top of the door frame as you open it? When you open it, it drops down like it should, but does anyone have theirs actually tap the frame as it goes by it?

I'm thinking it might not have enough time to get down below the frame before the door is opened. However, it does get all the way and when closing it is well below the bottom of the frame.

Nope, my windows don't hit the moulding when I open or close the door. The small drop upon opening is a nice touch.

I noticed something like that on the drivers side but it appears to work okay on the passenger side. I think there might be a recalibration procedure you can do. But I haven't totally looked into it. Look in the manual.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Mine only does that on the driver's side as well. When you open the door normally (as in not super slow at a crawl) you will hear it (and can kind of see it) hit the moulding.

The passenger side works like a charm.

I tried the recalibration, but it had no effect. However, the description (from the manual) of the way the windows will operate when they lose calibration doesn't correspond to this type of behavior.
