How long have you been with the indexing problem?
Take it to dealer to have it fixed if it still bothers you. Its Should be still under warranty.

I have been having the same problem with my '07. Sometimes I have to reindex everytime I roll the windows down. Maybe my method was wrong. I will try the two-3sec holds. See if that fixes it.

I came home from a week on the road, got in my car last night and the
drivers side window really hit the A pillar too, I re-indexed with the
3 second trick, no joy.

Drove the car around, hit a good bump, heard some sort of pop like the
roof was moving a bit. When I went to get out, I checked the window, still rubbed.

Then I come back from the coffee shop, go to get in, and its not rubbing!

Crazy thing.

I have no idea what was going on there, but something had moved,
or the rubber had compressed allowing the window to go up farther.

I have had to re-index my windows twice now in 1 year and it's always the passenger side that has the problem. Battery was not disconnected at any point either...but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

Yes, if your window doesn't go all the way after you close the door, you must follow the re-index instructions.

BTW, 28 months, 11k + miles, and no re-indexing req'd except after battery dsconnect.

Here is what I did..

I ran the car , turned it off and sitting in the car with the door still shut I held the up button for 3+ seconds, then I released and then held again for another 3+ seconds and released and it was done.
In fact when I first held it for 3 seconds it went up a bit and then on the second time it went up a bit more and that was it!

Now you should be able to completely diagnose the problem next time it happens.
