Washing Car - Auto Window Movement

Problem with turning it off is the doors can't open properly with the windows all the way up. The only other option is to turn it off with the windows part way down which I believe is easy, if you lower the windows a bit they won't move when opening the doors. of course you also can't clean the bottom strip that way.

There's really no good solution....

I could come up with an awkward one that would work though.... leave the doors closed, enter/exit the vehicle through the liftgate, and don't open a door or lower a window until the vehicle is completely dry. Don't really advocate this, but I really can't come up with any other way that wouldn't cause an issue.

 

Get a can of compressed air or use a compressor to blow a couple of puffs of air in there first to displace the water and then wipe it up. That's what the car washes around here do.

 

Unfortunately, no great solution since the felt that is touching the glass needs time to dry.

 

I don't think you would want to turn off that feature of the auto-window on door opening. The reason they have that feature is because the window will not clear the brightwork trim piece on the top without the window lowering a small amount. Additionally, when you close the door, the window will raise back up into a sealed position behind the brightwork.

I was thinking the same thing, until I realized WHY the window moves when opening and closing the doors.
