window question
Not sure if this is the right place but here goes. Went out to drive the vette this morning and the windows go down slightly when I open the door but don't go back up as they did in the past. I tried on both doors and same outcome. Is it because they are cold or are they broken? First problem I've had. Thanks for any help.

If it's above freezing where you were this morning, then it's not the cold, but as indicated above, the window indexing needs to be reset. A good reason to fill out your profile so we know more about you and your car. Here is the set of instructions needed .
Raise the window and hold the up switch an extra 3 seconds. Release. Without lowering the window, hold the up switch again for 3 seconds. Release. Done.
This is called resetting of the window indexing or power window initialize and is in the owner's manual. See page 2-17 of the 2005 owner’s manual, page 2-18 of the 2006 owner’s manual, page 87 of the 2007 owner’s manual, page 2-18 of the 2008 owner’s manual.

I live in FL and normally park my car in the garage but am TDY to AL, had to park outside in the parking lot, and yes it was below freezing last night. Profile updated, thanks for the tip. Thanks also for the info, it did the trick and the windows are reset.

Great info on freezing windows.
Thanks for the easy fix to restting the window indexing. I have taken my 06 coupe in twice in the last month for them to fix this (under warranty). But they failed to mention that there is such a simple fix. Great thread!!!
