Drivers side window woes
Every time I go to raise the driver side window it gets near the top, and will slow down and stop just before it seals. If i let go of the button and then press it up a few times, the window will jump a few times, but still won't seal. I have to open the door and then close it, and then it close fine with no wind howl. If I don't do that, then I get that oh so annoying wind howl. Has anyone ever encountered this before? I don't really like opening the door as I'm driving down the freeway just the make sure the window closes properly. (not the the safest thing to do)

There is an adjustable guide/stop that may need adjustment. There is a special tool required, J 22055. To adjust: loosen window stop. Raise the window, using the motor, to the correct height. Then re-set the window stop and tighten the stop bolt. There are two stops: an upper and lower. You will only need to adjust the upper stop.

It may also be that some of the nylon teeth on window mechanism are broken. They are famous for failing, but aren't too difficult to replace... you might have a look inside the door before spending the money on a special tool.
