Default C6 window problem

Hi guys,
My window stopped working with the auto rolldown of 1/2 inch upon entry and exit. It works normal with the window control, just not automatically. The passenger side still works properly. Is this a program problem i can fix or do i need to take it to the shop.
Thanks, Tom

Try rolling the window all the way up and holding the switch up for 2-4 seconds. It's in the manual.

Don't really need the video.

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. Don't forget the other window.

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, page 2-18 of the 2011 owner's manual, or page 2-19 for the 2012 owner's manual. -JFP
