**Window isue (not indexing) - NEED HELP**
i bought a 2006 C6 2 weeks ago and im having issues with the driver side window. i have read on how to index the windows but that is not helping in my particular case.
My driver side window rolls up and down with no problem, the motor seems to be fine. however, my window has a gap about a half inch from the top i can clearly see daylight and go forbid it rains. unlike the passenger window, my driver side does not "auto up" when closing the door or "auto down" to clear the weatherstripping when i open or close the door. it simply rolls up like a normal window and stops about half inch from the top. this one has me stumped.
Any help is greatly appreciated - its supposed to rain tomorrow!

If you are following the window indexing instructions with the car door closed, it should work if the car battery is good.
If it doesn't index, but the window works up and down, then perhaps the window regulator glass adjustment bolts have become loosened, and now out of adjustment for fully closed.
Good Luck

Even though the battery indicator shows the battery is strong, i decided to disconnect the positive terminal and clean it offer (there was corrosion build up) - i reconnected the battery and re-indexed and it worked!
thank you guys very much for your help i feel a HUGE relief!

What are the directions for indexing the window? I discovered mine is not working either today. I drove the car today and noticed the window isn't going up when I close the door.

It took a bit of searching but I found it thank you anyway I will try this next time I use the car
After a power reconnect such as battery replacement,
the window index-up feature will not function until
the system is initialized.
Once power is restored:
1. Close the car door.
2. Raise the window and hold the switch up for three
seconds after the window is closed.
3. Release the switch, then hold the switch up again
for three seconds and release.
