If window won't raise after closing door
Something discovered recently , only took me a year to stumble on it . If you go to close your doors and the window doesn't raise that extra 1/2 inch after closing , check the kid proof safety switch on your driver's door . If you have hit it by accident , the windows lock and will not raise up and reseal . Just a little tip that may save you some stress and/or a trip to the dealer .

Ethan , sorry , don't have a picture but it is the switch right next to the door lock switch on the driver's door. It's only on the driver's door not the passenger door .If you look closely , there is a picture of a window with an X through it on the switch . Mine is a 2003 model . Hope that helps !

Hmm, I understood it to be some malfunction in the car's computer program. My car had this and all that was needed was the dealer reprograming the window's travel distance. Whatever it was it's pretty simple.

SilvahZ,
Ya , that too but the kid proof window locking switch also does it . Hey , maybe it's not intended to be a " kid proof safety switch " but some sort of " security switch " , protection wise from raising or lowering the windows ! Who knows !

Hmmm
Why would there be a kids proof door on the drivers side of the car??? why not the passenger side?? That would make more sense to me anyway....unless that switch does it for both sides??? weird... never noticed it...

Ares ,
That's correct ! For those who aren't sure what we are talking about , hit the button with the window Xed out . It does do both windows so it probably is for the purpose of not allowing a passenger to open and close his/her window , as in a child .But it will also keep the windows from rising after the door closes and if you are not aware , could send you down to your dealer .

Was washing my car today and decided to check this.
I have an 03 Touring model (probably makes no difference, but before anyone asks), and it does not matter if that button is depressed or not, my windows go down and up when opening/closing the door. I checked it thrice.
