Default Window Trouble Need Help

Lately I have noticed Drivers Side Window having trouble going up, then trouble going down. When buttons pushed to go up it will either do nothing or it goes down. After several attempts it will eventually creep up. Any one ad this happen??

Could be missalignment. I've nosticed the windows run up and down without dragging on the rubber and pulling it down if the car is recently waxed along with the windows. There is spray on carnuba from eagle one that makes wuick detailing of the wax. I've decided to stay aways from rattling the door by opening and shutting when the window is running up or down. Today reminded me about how sometimes the stop position memory is lost. I shut the door when the window was traveling down since the car was hot when I got in. I noticed the memory movement of the window was lost when shutting the door jarred the window when it was in travel.

First thing I would try is waxing at least the windows and see if that prevents the drag safety stuff from triggering the window to stop. At least I think the window stops if it hits something instead of continuing trying to go up.

If you have the owners manual it should also describe the way to reprogram your window operation, or other Rennlisters can chime in on the restting process.

Thanks Guys. Turns out it was the Window Regulator. I took it to my local Indy Guy and he replaced it and she's good to go.
