Driver Side Window will not close
This is already covered in detail here. I discovered after I posted. I want to delete this post, but can't seem to do that.
This is a variant of the "dipper" problem, I suspect... On a 2008 MCS the driver window will not close. On rolling up, when it hits the top, it "bounces" back and stops itself at half way up. If I fiddle with it, I can get it to go all the way up. But its only a one-time temporary fix. Alson, no dipper function on door open, door close. And on the next roll down, the problem resumes.
I have tried the typical dipper fixes to no avail (engine on, door open... up hold 10s down hold 10s (60s/60s also tried)). Even with the door open it "bounces" down to half-way when it hits the top.
Anyone else seen this? Any thoughts or suggestions?

The Fix is out there...
Guess I should say that this problem is now resolved by a visit to the dealer. This was problematic when the problem was new and the dealers were in denial... But now it is a known issue and is covered by warranty, easily.
The dealer maint. mgr. just gave me a knowing nod when I described the problem... it was fixed later that afternoon.
