Default Auto window close issue

Two weeks ago my door was hit. Had it repainted and they took off mirror and molding etc to do so and did a great job but now 50% of the time when using auto close the window senses obstruct and goes back down. I need to raise window slowly to get it to stay up most of the time Any easy fix?

Take it back to the body shop and have them adjust it. I had the same problem after a deer strike. They fixed it and it's been fine ever since.

It probably needs reindexed. You can probably find a YouTube on it and do it yourself.

Try re-indexing your window.

This is worth a shot if you haven't tried it.

My car has been stalled in BG for almost 2 weeks on a “quality hold” inspection. This issue seems like an easy adjustment and better then a major mechanical or botched paint. They let cars like this leave the plant, but mine apparently didn’t even make THAT cut.

I can only imagine what’s wrong with mine.

Hopefully after two years this owner has found a solution to his window problem.
