Has anyone had an issue with the passenger /left (nearside in UK) front window refusing to close?

Every time I close it, it drops again to approx 1/2 way open. I try the full auto-close and it drops. If I edge it one small step at a time, it looks promising then drops again when it reaches the close point. It is very frustrating.

It’s below zero degrees here in UK so I wonder if this is temperature-related and the seal not working properly but … surely people in more northern climates would suffer this all the time? Also, it is just this one door. I have checked the seal for any foreign items and all looks clear.

I have tried resetting the window and no luck so far with that either.

Anyone have any ideas?? The list of niggles continues …

I had something similar once with the roof that kept opening. Drove the car for a minutes and it closed perfectly. It hasn’t happened anymore.

I had the same issue the other day it was -3 C and when I opened the door the window part opened and would not close. I scraped the ice and heated the car then it finally closed.

Not had any issues -yet! - sounds like the sensor is over sensitive and as you have tried needs resetting to the closed position - the recent uk cold weather is probably not helping, but you would hope there would be tolerances for this.
Otherwise may be another visit to workshop :(

It seems to have settled this morning is working (hopefully). Resetting the window didnt seem to have any effect so I simply had to edge it as close to closed as I could overnight.
