Default Window Valet Problems

I just put on my Window valet last night, and the windows won't stay up. I know that the seal is giving to much resistance.

After I attempt to put the windows up for the 3rd time they stay up.

It seems to me that the windows are not going up at the same pace and that is the issue.

Anyone have experience with this problem and solutions??

thank you for any help you can provide

Here is the link to that thread. Look at post #8 for details on how to recalibrate the unit, that may solve your problem.

As I stated on a previous thread, make sure your window glass is clean. If mine get too dirty it creates enough resistance that the valet won't close the windows.

Make sure your windows are all the way down to begin with. I had the same problem as you. What created it was I would manually bring up my drivers side window an inch or two to eliminate a rattle with my stereo on. Guess I'll need to repair the rattle. Anyway, since I reset the windows to the full down position the problem has been solved for me.
