Window indexing with door open
Anyone notice about how far their windows go down with the door open? I mentioned in another thread that my doors require some pretty stiff pressure to close unless the windows are all the way down. Someone asked if they were indexing open properly when the door is open. I looked tonight and it doesn't appear they are going down much at all. When the door first closes (before the window goes back up) i notice it's not even down past the weather stripping, which could be causing the air pressure build up resulting in the extra force needed to close the door. I'd say total travel is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch.
Can someone else verify how far down, generally, the window should go? Is it past the weather stripping?
Thanks guys

An exact measurement is near impossible, but from what I'm hearing it sounds like mine are normal. I think they should have maybe programmed this for 1/2 inch to allow for the air to escape past the weather stripping.

My C6 windows drop about 3/8" also, just barely below the weather stripping, but do not require any unusual force to close the door.
