Window pinch detected

I have a 2019 Model 3. Usually I don't open the windows in the winter so I only noticed this issue this spring (2023), plus I have an infant in the back driver side seat; another reason for not usually opening the window.
When I open the driver side rear window there are no issues. If I try to close it with one click it retracts half way up and opens fully again. I can only close it if I do that again then the third time I hold up the switch.
I think this only started happening after the fall OTA pinch window firmware update.
I tried recalibrating all the windows the service menu. It states that window couldn't be calibrated because of a window pinch detected.
Anyone else experience something similar and any ideas of how to fix this?
My warranty expired last month 😔
 
You still under warranty?
If you are, curious if you can get them to say how much it would cost if out of warranty?
My first in-app estimate was $700!!
Labor was quoted at $240-ish per hour. Took about an hour. They R&R the motor/regulator assembly. I don’t know the part cost but probably a couple hundred.
