Default Window trouble after a hard start

Hi everyone. Just fired up the cat after a few weeks of severely cold temps. Took a few cranks but finally turned over. Now the window on the drivers side doesn't close after shutting the door.

Any advice?

Reset the windows: Lower them and contine holding the button for a few seconds until you hear a soft click. Then raise them and continue holding the buttons until you hear a soft click again.

This is a sign of a low battery.

Thanks White XKR, As farbas the battery goes could it be the long cold snap without starting or is the car still drawing from the battery while it sits? This is my first winter with the car. Is it better to remove the battery and just start it in the spring?

The battery will draw, so either buy a battery tender or remove it.

+1. A battery tender makes sense for a car you do not drive reguarly, and doubly so for this car which is prone to electronic malfunctions when the battery is low.

Have not tried the reset but did buy and set up the trickel charger for the battery. I will wait to do the reset after the battery is completely charged. Thanks again everyone.
