Windows freezing? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Has anyone else had a issue with their windows freezing and licking up? Happened to me this morning. The window buttons flashed the entire time until the motor finally got warmed up. Not sure if this is anything to worry about but, just wondering who else this has happened to?

Mine stuck yesterday morning. It still did its little drop down when I opened the door. Ice and snow. When I got in I noticed the Auto lights flashing. Down the road and after the car had warmed up a bit I just rolled the drivers window down and back up and they quit blinking.

Read here last night that's how to reset them.

My driver got to where it was functioning normal again. The passenger was still blinking when I got to work this morning. Pretty sure it'll resolve itself as soon as it gets warmer.

When they blink I have to rest them both the same way you reset the driver. Has to be done from that doors controls it seems.

Yea, you need to reset your windows. Each one needs to be done separately. So the passenger side has to be reset with the switch on the passenger door. Just hold the switch all the way in while the window is going down, and then keep it held in for an additional second or 2. Repeat the process to put the windows back up, and they should be good to go.

Windows are back to normal

Won't you have to keep doing this throughout the winter? :/

This is the first time it's happened to me. It got around 29 outside this morning.

I'm having this issue as well.

I've had to do it about 4 or five times now, getting old quick that's for sure!

Yeah the design of these windows without cold weather in mind is sort of retarded.

It just happened to me for the first time last night. I opened the door, and they shifted down a little (heard a cracking as the frost broke), and then they stayed down after I shut my door. I had to roll them up myself.

That's poor customer service in my book.

That was a typo Haha.
