Default Help with window index

I'm not sure if the two are related but lately I have been having to give my car a jump about every 3 days. My battery went dead after a long period of me not driving the C6. I have noticed that 30% of the time my window wont seal all the way up. Sometimes I can reopen the door and close it and it goes up at other times it stays down. Also my door seems as if it has "dropped" slightly.

Every time the battery is disconnected or goes dead, the windows need to be re-indexed.

Even if you think they work fine. Just good insurance.

It takes so little time & effort, I'd do it every time to both windows.

Your battery is now damaged. Make sure your elec system is OK and there's no excessive drain... then get a new battery.

And use a battery tender when your car sits for awhile or you'll kill the new battery too.

BTW, lots of reports of random elec malfunctions with a weak battery. So if you don't get a new one, you can expect some surprises.
