Default Reinitializing Power Windows - '05-'07 C6

Anyone had this problem...?
I recently had my windows tinted on my new (to me) 2005 C6 coupe. Upon getting the car back - the passenger side window will retract when opened, but will not go up (to seal) when closed.
I have heard there's a fix - a GM procedure: #06-08-64-0008A.
It's called Reinitializing the Power Windows. Anyone know how to do this yourself - without involving a dealer?
Thanks to anyone who can help!

It's in your owner's manual. I'd tell you the steps, but I've forgotten them. I THINK you roll the window down then raise the window and hold the up button for like 5 seconds after the window is in the full up position.

That's right. Three seconds or more holding the button in the up position.
