2. Clear all snow and ice from the door and glass.
3. Open the window completely and then close it.

small amount when the door is
opened. When the door is closed,
the window will raise to its previous
position. If either window does not
index properly, it could be due to
loss of power. Before seeing your
dealer for service, program the
power windows.

glare. Detach the sun visor from the
center mount to pivot to the side
window and, if equipped, extend

otherwise damage may occur.
