Default Drivers window issue

During our caravan toNCM, the drivers window failed to close tight when the door was shut.
Any suggestions?
Will comment on the caravan when I get home to my computer.

Try re-indexing the window, and if that doesn't work, then it could be more serious ie: window regulator going bad.
By chance, did that window start making noise when it was hot outside???
If so, it's the regulator cables getting frayed, and the regulator will soon stop working properly. (up or down)
Instructions for indexing the window is found on page 2-19 of the owners manual.
Hopefully, window indexing will fix the issue
Good Luck

Here's the window indexing procedure. It will need to be done after each time that the car battery is disconnected, then reconnected.

With the engine running and the window down, close the car door. Raise the window and hold the up switch an extra 3 seconds. Release. Without lowering the window, hold the up switch again for 3 seconds. Release. Done. Don't forget the other window.

Default Window Issue

Hey, thanks guys for the help.
I really feel stupid right now. All I had to do is read the manual.
It said to hold down the lever for lowering and raising the window for three seconds, twice.
It worked.

Apparently those directions are not hard and fast. I just had to get a new battery, and I'd forgotten what the manual said so I winged it. I lowered the windows, held the switch down, raised them to the top, held the switch down, and that procedure worked. There's apparently some leeway.
