Window going down on it's own. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I tried doing a search but couldn't find anything about the issue i'm having.The last few day my drivers side window has been dropping down just to the point you see daylight.This pretty much happens when car sits for a period of time.I have to click it up rest of the way when i start car after it sits.

there's a good chance you have to reset your windows like this other guy had to: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29861.

I've done the reset couple of times when windows won't go down but this happens after car sits.Wondering if window isn't going back up after i shut door.All the window functions work fine, window just seems to go down all on it's own.

Your car is secretly an autobot.

Good thing it's going in friday for condensation, just have them poke at this problem too.

Yup, got that. Shows up as wind-noise. Far as I can tell, it is related to cold weather. Not sure if it is related to the issue where it stays in the lowered position, or is a separate concern.

For the most part, I observe it when it is cold enough that the window wont go down at all when you open/close the door.

If you have your windows tinted. Go ahead and check the window switch in the door. It could be grounding/ not grounding on something? Causing the window to roll down like the doors open.
