Default Window problem

well my passanger auto down wasn't working so I did the re-calibration in the owner manual and now the window won't roll down all the way, it stays just over flush with the door. Also with the windows all up, they don't retract as far as they used to when the door is opened.

I've tried the recalibration method several times with no luck, any suggestions ?

Will the window go all the way down manually? (i.e. without using the auto down feature)

its goes all the way up fine, but going down no, I tried to push the window itself down and it went with little effort but as soon as I tried using the window again it goes back to its usual shenanigans. So I tried pushing it down again and then recalibrating again but still no luck.

It has jumped the cogged track and is now out of
the recalibrations range of stop adjustments.
Its mechanical, not electrical.

wait, I was just thinking. If it jumped the track then the window shouldn't function at all, right ? All that seems to be the problem is the stopping point I don't see how that means it jumped the track..

Maybe the stops are messed up? Easy way is to open the door up, (take off the door panel) and see what you can see. It's a heck of a lot cheaper than the dealer.

Let me state that for you nit pickers.
It has jumped a cog on the belt.
One tooth out and the internal window stops
on the motor are now out of their adjustment/calibration
range.
Its a tooth or two out on the slotted 'belt'.
Or worse, its missing a slot divider.
