Default Minor but Significant

Anyone have a problem with their driver side window not sealing back after the door shuts?

Also my CD player seems to longer recognize CD's!

Window - Reindex it. read your manual. SHort version is to hold up on the window switch for 3 or 4 seconds. Roll windows down then do it again to be sure. I had to reindex the window in the down position as the window glass was above the rubber trim when down. I did this reindex a few times and it fixed the problem.

I can not help you with the CD.

Not sure you have to roll the window down. The manual says roll the window up and to hold the switch up for 3 seconds, release the switch and hold it up again for 3 seconds.

You don't roll it down. Roll up and hold for 3 seconds. Release and hold up for three more seconds.

Normally I would agree to fix just the top edge. But I'm telling ya to fix the bottom edge you need to do it a few times to ensure the bottom edge is below the rubber trim. I do agree that the actual adjustment is done by holding the switch in the up position once the window is actualy up as indicated by Mez and the manual.

Let me explain it this way. The top edge on mine was fine but the bottom edge was slightly above the trim when in the down position. I did the normal index a few times to align both the top and bottom. My fear was that something would hit the top edge when the window was in the down positon and it would shatter.

If your cars doesn't have an owners manual you can get a PDF version on line and it will give you the answer.
