2016 Doors Hard To Close
For some odd reason, I can not index my windows on my new C7. Has anyone figured out how to do this, or did GM just skip this technique on the new cars? The current setup means the doors are very hard to close unless they are slammed which we all hate.

Mine seems to have minimal indexing also, and the wife had a hard time closing the door during our 4400 mile trip home from the Museum.
We didn't have that problem with hers ('14) 15 months prior, so it appears that something may have changed related to the indexing.

don't ever close the door with the windows all the way up or you'll soon be buying new window components and seals. Here's an easy way to index:
pull the NEGATIVE batt cable for 10 min. when you attach it back, it will ask you to index the windows....

I usually have to slam mine twice before it closes right. And there is no place to grab to close it. I usually use the window so I don't scratch the paint. Mine is a 16 as well.

Does that work on a 2016? I know it will work on an earlier model.

The 16 is no diff wiring wise than a 14 (re this situation) and disconnecting a Neg cable should have nothing to do with years. Call your local dealer and ask. It will be the same.

Are you saying that your windows do not lower approximately 1/2" when you open the door?

Mine index just fine. As a matter of face had them tinted yesterday and the indexing was causing problems. They had to re do it twice. Just very hard to shut!

Indexing is working fine on my 2016 also - they will close easier as they are used more - my driver's door closes easier than my passenger door

Well now I'm thinking that if indexing works on a 2016, I guess I have to go and figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

Indexing works on mine, but doesn't appear to lower as much as on my previous cars. I'll have to compare the wife's '14 to mine to see if there is a difference.

Wow, what a timely thread. I just picked up my first Corvette yesterday and had a heck of a time closing the door. It sounded good and felt right but 3 times I had to pull over and come to a complete stop in order to open and slam the door. Annoying that I can't just pop it open and slam it without having to pull over and stop. Those electronic nannies again!
Guess I will disconnect the neg terminal before I go ahead with all my personalizations
