I wont goto the dealer unless something MAJOR breaks. I'd rather pull apart my door panel myself any day than have them deny scratching my paint or cracking my rocker panel.

don't know...maybe nothing. could just be some glitch. in the 2.5 years i've had mine, it's a daily-driver, i've had to reindex four or five times. it's no biggie.

I was just in east Oklahoma about 10 miles west of Ft. Smith on Christmas Eve and so on. It had rained earlier in the day, then turned to sleet and finally snowing that evening. The next morning, my windows had issues. I couldn't open the trunk as the trunk switch didn't want to do anything from the outside. Simply put, water had frozen in places causing all of this. The passenger window wouldn't move with the passenger door switch but did come down with the driver's door switch, but wouldn't go back up. I heated the car up and so on, slowly things started to work again. I did not have to re-index. Not sure at all what caused it all other than it was fairly obvious it was ice inside.

Born and raised in San Antonio tx where we see a mild freeze once a year, Even I know dont put hot water on a cold iced over window But the same thing happed to my C6 last week, pissed me off went to work in a bad mood, came home to my beloved forum and after 30 sec of research and 10 sec of re-indexing the window everything was good as new!!!

Best of luck to the OP, but im 99.99% sure this will fix your problem
