Just noticed that my driver side window is jumping up and down (jerking) on the way down. Not sure if its because it was wet. It almost looks like a failing window regulator. Its not too bad, but not smooth as it supposed to be on a new car. The other side is not doing this, so there is definitely a difference.
Anyone else observe this with their windows? Will mention to dealer next time, not sure if they give me run around that "its normal"

No problems here. Let us know the outcome.

No jerking here. Hope it gets resolved for you!

Noticed the same thing on mine but only happens after car wash and maybe intensified with the cold weather. Will keep monitoring

russianDude

Yes, seems to be more when wet/cold. But happens when dry also. Its only happening on the way down 1-2” from fully closed. I will definitely show this to dealer.

Make a video if not easily reproducible.

Try lubing up the window channel with some shin-etsu grease. It might just be increased friction from the wet rubber

russianDude

Thanks, where can I buy it? I watched scotty, he said to spray silicone, but it did not make a difference

Shin-etsu grease...great stuff and you can pick up a tube on Amazon. They recommend rubbing just a trace of it on all your rubber weather seals once a year also.

As for the window jerking...not rare over all. Clean up the window as best you can. Sometimes they get something on them that causes them to try to stick in the channels while going up and down. A little lube won't hurt either. If you still get jerking one should think that the glass guides might be off a little or something.

Order shitsu grease, good stuff to have around. Will try it first, dont want them to start opening the door panel unless its absolutely necessary. will update

Scotty is an idiot. And a stooge.

That Shin-etsu grease is amazing, it makes all your seals like new, soaks it right in

I applied it to run channel of the window, and it got much better, not perfect but very good. Just a slight jerk near the top. I rather keep it this way than let dealer start taking apart door panel and then get other problems. will keep an eye if it gets worse.
