Default Passenger window won't close

I did a search, but couldn't find it.

I try to close the passenger window, it hits the top and immediately rolls back about six inches. I'm forced to leave the window open a small crack.

Is this a switch I need to replace? TIA

Or the window regulator? Is it raining on the back 9?

Maybe it needs a reset. Just keep holding down the button for 5 seconds or so after the glass hits the top (going from my memory).

IF the window actuates then it is not the switch.

try some silicone lube around the window seals. The window is designed to reverse itself any time it hits resistance in its close cycle.
