Power Window problem
It finally hit 70 degrees here in Detroit today and I unveiled the '08 C6(after being covered since Nov) and went to wash it. Unfortunately more water got inside the car than outside because the power windows did not automatically seal up when the door was shut. Neither side... Has this every happened to anyone before? The car is under warranty with only 5k miles but I'm still pissed.. Any thoughts?

Close the car door. 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, page 2-18 of the 2009 owner's manual, page 3-18 of the 2010 owner's manual, or 2-18 of the 2011 owner's manual. -JFP
You'll have to do it every time the battery is reconnected.
You also would have found it if you'd looked at the C6 FAQ sticky.

Thanks for the advice JIMTN... I'm still learning my way around the forum.
And thanks for the tips on re-setting/re-indexing. Strange thing is it did not happen when I stored it the year before. Anyways..Thanks again
