WINDOW IN DOOR DOES NOT DROP DOWN WHEN DOOR HANDLE IS PULLED?

[Orange 2010 Camaro]

I have a 2010 SS & a couple of days ago I noticed that the window in the passenger side door will no longer drop down about 1/4 inch to clear the upper seal when you pull he handle to open the door.

The car is out of warranty, so I am on my own on this one. ( I WILL NOT PAY THEM $100.00 AN HOUR TO FIX IT!). Has anyone else had this problem & what was done to fix it?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

All The Best

Have you tried the window reset? If not the process of how to do it is in the owners manual. I've had to do it once already!

not trying to thread jack, but my window doesn't fully auto-up anymore, it'll get around a half inch from the top and then roll down half way. driver side only, window reset didn't help

You both need to reset your windows. The procedure is easy and in your owners manual.

This works -

1-A. Open the car door which needs to have the window adjusted. Turn the ignition to the run mode. Do one door at a time !!!

1-B. In the door jam, release the harness from the door (with a medium screwdriver, pull up the release tab, pull off w/ the palm of your hand, and pull the harness off the door for a minimum of 60 seconds (this is very important as the memory will be lost).

1-C. Reconnect the door harness and lock the tab back down. Close your car door.

1-D. The DIC will ask you to lower your door glass.

1-E KEEP YOUR FINGER ON THE BUTTON FOR 4 TO 5 SECONDS ONCE THE GLASS IS DOWN. ROTATE YOUR FINGER TO THE UP POSITION AND HOLD FOR 4 SECONDS ONCE WINDOW IS AT THE TOP.

OTHER FUNCTIONS MAY APPEAR IN YOUR DIC BEFORE YOU ARE ASKED TO PROGRAM THE WINDOWS. This is normal

Window is now reprogrammed, Repeat to the other door glass.

However, sometimes the door glass regulator does not always relearn on the first attempt. If when you open the door and the door glass does not drop down to the open door position, your window regulator did not relearn or re-normalize...in which case, you are going to need to drop the glass back down, unplug the harness and try again. Yes, it can be picky sometimes and not want to work on the first time.

On my 2010, it said to close all doors. Put the key in the run position (do not start car), push the button and roll the window down, then put it up and hold the button for 4-5 seconds. Do the same with the passenger window. I never had to disconnect any wiring.

Worked the first time I tried it. Good luck

May sound stupid but I had a similar problem, turns out the battery was weak and near the end it's life. Took very long cranks, etc. changed the battery and worked fine after the reset. Do you have the original battery still.
