Default Window Valet Question

Recently when I activate the window up feature there seems to be too much pressure on the driver's side window and about half way up it must detect the resistance and will reverse both windows and go back down. If I "help" it up it's fine but obviously this defeats the purpose of the Valet.
Anyone run into this issue before?

Does that happen everytime you try to activate the windows up? Ive had it happen a few times but it doesnt happen a lot.

All fine up to a few months ago. Now it happens every time. Had a battery go down and thought maybe that was the problem but put a new Red Top in and still does it.
Almost seems like the door panel seal is impeding the up.

I would re-calibrate and, if necessary, set the window up strength to "strong."
