Default Window wont go down when car is cold

my passenger window wont roll down on a cold start. once the car warms up the window goes down fine. also when the car is cold the window makes a noise like its trying to move but it doesnt go down(note im not trying to roll it down when it makes the noise, it goes by itslef). any ideas??

Freezing weather and frost will “stick” the window. Kind of embarrassing at the McDonalds drive threw.

Do not force the window: you will burn up the motor. Smack the window with your fist. That will break the frost seal.

Spray de-icer will also work.
