If it doesn't then I scrape the window and take an old hotel door swipe card (any plastic card would do) and run it along the seal between the weather stripping and the glass. Sometimes I have to use some force and chip the ice out between the two but I have never had to reset the windows in 4 winters now.

Yes, I have done this as well. I think I've only tripped it once and freaked out hehe. I think it got stuck slightly open, but it didn't rain that day. Once I got home I found out how to fix it. So that was a huge relief. I think after that day, I just ran an ice scrapper along the bottom of the frost or ice before I opened the door. Then I ran the defroster/heat before I ever tried to open the window. Hasn't happened again, but then again we don't have harsh winters in this part of NC.
