Help with driver's side window problem
I took the cover off my '05 a couple weeks ago to check that my battery was ready to go and it was fine. This morning I took the cover off to drive it for the first time this year and the battery was completely dead. Wasn't sure why, but I charged it slow all day and it was fully charged tonight.
So I took it out for a little ride to make sure I had not left any Acc on last time which might have caused the battery drain. Long story short; I discovered that my driver's side window does not go up the last 1/2" to seal itself shut.
Does anyone know what is wrong and what I should do next?
I have tried up, down, power on, off; opening and closing the door etc and it just won't go up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you need to re-index the windows after dead battery or if the battery is disconnected.
Details are in the manual, you will be told
Basically , sit in the car, close both doors , turn ignition on , roll both windows together all the way up , keep holding the up both buttons for 10 seconds, release , then hold up again for another 10 seconds , that should clear your problem .

Thanks for all the quick feedback. Problem solved. I feel like a complete moron though since I looked right at the section in the manual and never read it to make the connection myself.
Nice to have a place to come for help.
