Default Passenger window won't seal

Passenger window won't completely seal when door opened and then shut. Stays about an inch open!

How old is your battery? Window open/close issues are one of the first signs of a failing battery....

Common problem. Very easy fix.

Sit in car. Door shut. Key in ignition. Turn the key to the position just before starting, 2nd position? Dont start the car.

Do both windows at the same time.

Push the button/s to make the windows go all the way to the bottom and HOLD button down till you hear a faint click (usually around 5 seconds after getting to limit)
Then push the windows up button and when they both get to the top HOLD again till you hear the faint click.
Job done. Told you it was easy.

Let us know how you got on wont you?

I think it worked. Heard both clicks, but haven't had chance to verify.
