I know that if windows are UP and you open and close the door, they drop down a couple MM and go right back up once closed. But Ive never had widows FULL down that go up 1-1.5" (and back down) when I open the door to get out.

It's a tad bit irritating to have the window come up and hit my arm as I am reaching out.
