• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Wasn't sure if this was interior or exterior discussion ...

Traveling the Interstate at about 75mph ..... lowered the passenger side window briefly. When it was returned to the closed position, the upper edge of the glass "bowed outward" slightly and would not seat inside the grove for a tight seal. The result was considerable cabin air noise. Tried to lower and re-seat 4 or 5 times to no avail. When we came to a rest stop and was able to lightly press in on the outside of the glass as the window was raised, it reseated properly. I didn't use the window further until I got back home where I tried recreate the issue. At a stand still. the window operated and sealed properly. I think the wind turbulence at interstate speeds pulled the glass out of alignment. You would think you could open and close the window at any speed. Anyway, I will mention it at the next dealer service but I am not expecting much in the way of resolution.

It's been covered before. The resolution is to slow down enough and lower and raise again. Nothing the dealer can do about it.
