I have an issue with my passenger side front window. If I use the 'Auto-Up" feature where the window rolls itself all the way up, most times as soon as the window hits the top seal it unrolls again. If I try again, I get the same result, where the window immediately rolls down again. The only way I can get the window to stay up is to quickly and repeatedly click the up window control, to inch the window up until it barely touches the top seal. Anybody else experience something like this? I'm guessing something is tripping the anti-pinch feature, but is there a way to adjust the sensitivity? It's not a huge deal, but pretty annoying sometimes.

mine has developed a similar issue, on the driver window: it seems that sometimes it works correctly, and other times it does not respond at all, or responds erratically, not operating as expected. One concern is that the window is down, and doesn't want to operate to the closed position.

Dirt/debris in the switch? I'll have to do some deeper investigating.

There is a training procedure for this when the prior configuration is disturbed by OTA's or disconnecting the LVB for a long period of time or the LVB is low on charge.

Mine started acting up the same way recently and performing the retraining process would correct it for a while. When my driver side window started doing the same thing, I sprayed some silicone in the window channels of both doors and so far that has stopped the behavior. 🤞🤞

My truck sat at the dealership next to farm fields for over a year before I bought it and I am still cleaning our dust and dirt from that. I suspected that some of that got into the window channels and increased the drag on the window motors enough to trigger the safety rolldown.

Thank you. I have Weatherguard rain deflectors on all four windows and the bounce-back has been a regular PITA. The advice in this video did the trick.

I too had to retrain the window. I think it might’ve been after an update(some driver door update). I don’t remember exactly.
Worked for me!
