HELP! MY CAR IS POSSESSED!!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

One night, I noticed after I opened the door to get out, my window was a quarter-inch lower than it should be. I turned on the Accessories and raised the window and sure enough it went all the way up. I thought, "Damn, they STILL haven't figured out how to make a WINDOW for these things!" I was pissed. F-Bodies have always had the worst windows and doors EVER.

Then the other night, my wife made a big deal out of it. And she said she closed the door and there was a gap. I said, "Yeah, I know" and she said - "and then it went up". So I go around in circles for twenty minutes with her about it. Then I tested it. I opened my door - AND THE WINDOW WENT DOWN A QUARTER INCH! Then I closed it - AND THE WINDOW WENT BACK UP!

WTF!!!?!?

Does anybody else have this problem!??! What do you do when your car was sold on an Indian burial ground?!?

Well... if it's like you described and goes down when you open the door and then back up when closed, that's normal. A few sports cars out there do the same thing since there's no upper frame on the door for the window.

LOL, I know all Verts do this because of the top.

ZED SLED · 10-16-2015, 12:52 PM

All 5th gens do this. Reason Crowmag said - it's called indexing. Check you owner's manual.

JLSuperfly · 10-16-2015, 12:56 PM

When I open the door, the window moves down a bit then moves up after I close it.

Makes a better seal

There's also a "Safety Ninja" that locks your doors at 8 MPH and will yell at you if you don't wear your seat belt.

that's normal for window indexing, no need to get po'd

molsonbrador · 10-16-2015, 01:34 PM

That's normal dude. Possessed is when you're washing the car and both doors lock, key is on the kitchen table and nobody's in the house.

jdrop01 · 10-16-2015, 02:22 PM

Hahaha not to be mean but this gave me a good laugh. Can just imagine you sitting there with such confusion lol. But, yea it's normal.
