The drivers smart window would drop 1/4 inches when opening the door, but would not go back up when closing the door. I tried all of the re-initializing procedures on the internet, but none of them worked.

I applied some rubber/vinyl dressing (Griot's) to a rag and wiped the rubber window tracks at the door window opening, and on the sealing rubber at the car roof where the window seals on top. I wiped the rubber, inside and outside, and the problem was fixed. Try not to get that stuff on the paint, I don't know what is in it, but if it is silicone, you definitely don't want it on the paint. My son (Master Auto Tech) said that the problem is usually caused by the dry rubber increasing the window motor current, causing the sensor to misbehave.

Challenger SXT 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,921 miles

Took to dealership on Saturday morning to discover this same part that was recalled in 2011 models were not covered except by my $249.00 debit card. Got home and the smart glass was not adjusted properly after a four hour wait and the window does not go all the way up in the rubber molding. Good part Is there is a 12000 mile warranty on their work.....We will see but more time pissed away at the dealership. I was told this is normal conditions from open and closing. Why do they make doors if you could not open/close them?
