Window problems
 
I got home and opened my door and the window dropped down but when I closed the door it didn't go up. I tried to open again but the window went down more from opening with the handle. The window still won't go back up, it just keeps going down from being activated from door handle. Anybody know how to fix?

What you need to first was to reprogram the window. To do this you push the window down button and hold until you hear or feel a click. Then push the window button for the window to close and hear or feel the click. This should be done when you are in the car and the door is closed. The window should operate properly by opening a slight bit when the door is opened and close when the door is closed.
This problem is often caused by a weak battery voltage. 10.5 or below they loose memory settings.

window problem = battery problem
 
Based on numerous posts on this subject, window problems like you describe are the first sign that your battery is on the way out. Most, including myself, have found that you will have repeated problems with this and then one day the car won't start. In my case the OEM battery lasted about 10 years which I think is remarkable.
