It's the window position sensor that tripped something odd so it went down about 5 inches. Does this sound like that happened?

And then after a full open/close cycle while closed, it should reset itself again, correctly calibrating itself for full open/close and the venting position as well (about 1" down).

This also happens when battery terminal is pulled while the windows are partly open. Needing a full cycle again after it's connected to reset the position sensor.
It's part of safety mechanism for when something blocks the path of the window, like a hand or protruding luggage.
