Ok.. So heres whats happening now.

Today my passenger was rolling down the passenger window and when he decided to close it, the window would not go up. I would hear the motor attempt to move the glass up but then it wouldnt move. I had to pull over and manually slide the glass up with my hands. So, i assumed (like always) it was one of those 1 in a billion chance things, so i scrolled down the windows once more and could not roll them back up. I had to manually put em back up again.

But, again, like always theres a catch.

5 minutes later i could get the windows to come down and up. Also, when the windows are stuck in the down position (opened windows) if i wait for lets say, 1 minute, the glass is able to come back up. ANNDd now its starting to work again.. wuddup?

What shall i do this time? Dealership needs proof that this crap is happening to me, i have none until i can get the window to freeze when i want it to.

BTW it is below freezing point here, but it hasnt snowed in days and my car has no ice/snow on it. (highly doubt that ice is stuck in window crack)

i had a 97mustang gt that i had the same problem with. i really never did figure it out, but when a thief smashed in the window and i had to have it replaced it worked fine.sorry for no help cause all i can recommend is to look up your nearest common neighborhood car thief in the yellow pages. oh yeah, and make sure he's bonded.

Maybe it's a faulty window motor...

Typical Nissan customer service. Is there no way you can duplicate it on your own? Or is it a random thing which happens every so often?

the Window might slightly be off track when you roll it down, which could cause it to get stuck and not go up.
