Not had this happen to my five year old car, and it sure shouldn't happen to an '04. I have heard of some people having problems though on older models.

Fairly common problem. You might want to check this out from the C5 Tech Tips section of the Forum: Possible remedy for a stuck window.

Yep! Common problem on the C5 since 1997. I'll bet the farm that this problem isn't corrected on the C6 either.

GM can't seem to understand that ignored QUALITY issues like these, not employee wages, benefits ect, are putting them out of business.
