Automatic Window Trouble
My 2005 GT has been having trouble with the auto-up window. My automatic windows are functioning funny,
Started on the passenger side and like most electrical problems this is intermittent. =/
- They roll up
- They roll down
- They don’t automatically roll up.
- They tend to stay a crack until it roll them back up

This is out of my 2010 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. 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 two
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
two seconds. Immediately after releasing the window switch, pull the
switch up to raise the window until it completes its travel and hold the
switch up for two seconds. Perform short drop re-calibration with
doors closed only. Re-calibrating with doors open will cause the
window to continuously bounce back.
Not sure about the 05 but worth a shot?

From the Owners manual:
Restoring the express-up functionality (front windows only)
Under low battery power conditions, express-up only functionality may
be lost.
To reset this function after restoring full battery power, pull the
switch to the express-up position, hold the switch until the glass reaches
the stall position and continue to hold for two seconds.
Press the window switch down and operate the window to the full down position.
Express-up will now be functional. Perform express-up re-calibration
with door closed only.
Calibrating with door open will cause the window to continuously bounce back.
(Sorry Joekr, I just saw your post.)

Can you believe that not only did someone have the bright idea to put that kind of info in the Owners Manual but that there are people here that KNOW about it? Miracles DO happen.
Please read thru your Owners Manual. It's chock full of great info about the car. If nothing else, it might help you fall asleep at night.
