Its not so much that it won't auto up or down...its when going up, it won't fully seal/close and leaves a gap....like its off track or something...didnt want to take it apart , so hoping someone knows a tip or if I take it apart....how to fix it...

^^ yeah, tried that and there is no wiggle room whatsoever...either that or I am weak as $hit...but i tried pulling while it was going up and nothing...and didn't want to damage anything or make it worse..I've taken the panel off for wrapping, but don't recall seeing anything , at least not from what i recall, but i have read about the glass coming off the guides or something, but dont know if this is that or something else, but like i said, the motor seems to be fine, no sounds or anything, it just wont close...so maybe off the guide ...at least that sounds feasible..funny thing is i drive it everyday and nothing, bullet proof..i parked it for a few days and whamo...guess it doesnt like to sit around..things start to break lol....any ideas anyone..Florida rains are a biatch..have a bag over window just in case....

Call your local auto glass shop and see if they are willing to take a look. Sounds like it just needs to be readjusted.

Look in the Tech/DIT forum for door panel video(s). Or Youtube.

your best bet is to just take off the panel and see whats up as you open and close the window. save yourself a trip to the shop as you may be able to fix it yourself

Thanks all- I did call an auto glass and they said guides and our cars (infiniti) are difficult blah blah so i passed...but yeah , will take panel off and take a look and see what's up...did try you tube but nothing with just a slight variation as mine , all were either completely wonky or something like that...thanks though ... The bag remains

Fixed...Just in case someone has this same issue....its the f'ing rubber seals....thankfully actually....took the panel off, poked around ....pulled ...tuggged ...adjusted ....and the window too .and nothing...so after a while ...i put the control back and just moved it ...but sitting on seat you don't see the ext seals...so when I looked from outside, saw the folded rubber and thought ...no frigging way, but pulled it out and cleaned it and voila ....back to normal...lubed all the weather stripping...and all good to go
