Window off tracks, 2nd time

[FLfinfan]

Found out why my window has jumped off its tracks, twice. It has only happened when I have closed the door with the window down inside the door. This has only happened twice since I have owned the truck. It was only when I used the key fob to lower the windows (only the fronts go down on my truck) from outside the truck because it was like an oven inside the cab. When I would get inside the truck and start it up, get the AC on MAX, and then close the door, ....I could hear the window move around inside the door when the door was closed. Then it would get bound up on the weather stripping that seats the window and keeps out the wind noise. It would go up 1/2 way, then go down. Then it would not work at all. Then I would restart (reboot) the truck, and it would go up 3/4 of the way. Then the switch would die. Then I would restart the truck again and it would go all the way up, but slow, with labored rubbing of window seal.

Also, unrelated to the door closing situation, rear passenger window was making sounds like metal cables straining or rubbing glass.

Called service, they got me in. On way to dealer could hear wind noise from affected window (front driver's) right about where the outside mirror was. Could see the glass was not seated properly inbetween the two rubber seals like it should be. 1 hour 10 min later the service desk guy says, "the tech has written a report to Nissan about what you think the problem is (window jumping off tracks when door is closed and window is down in door) and he thinks you are right. This is your 2nd time and we have had 2 others with this problem. Also the back window is making sounds like the regulator is going bad. We have ordered a new one and will put it in for you when it gets here".
I guess I will not be closing my doors with the window down as long as I own this truck. I will put them down once inside the cab to let out hot air. Not digging this at all.

Last night on the way home I heard a clunkish rattle from the passenger rear window as I drove home.....it was open. I checked it when I got home and nothing seemed wrong. It only did it when I went over a sizeable bump in the road. Could have been my imagination since my middle name is Anal, but your story gives me reason to keep an eye (ear) on this issue.

You should use it like you want and have the warranty work done until it's repaired properly. Closing your door with the windows down should not cause a problem so go do it, I would (and do!).

I just had a problem like that last week. Just driving around and went to put the passenger side window up. Went a quarter way up normal, slowed down made it half way up then dropped about an inch by itself and stopped working. Tried over and over to get it to go up and then parked the truck and called the dealer. Got back in the truck and the window went up normally. Dealer could not replicate the problem so now i am worried about lowering the window on cloudy days.
Did after three times get my passenger seat squeak fixed. They must of taken the seat apart and tightened it up. The back of the seat used to move alot side to side when pushed on but now is pretty firm. The first time i took it in they just must have sprayed some lithium grease on it but it still squeaked. I was really mad as its 45 minute drive to dealership, and i could of just sprayed grease on the mechanisms. Any way let me know if anyone can figure out what must have happened to my window.

Regulator (widow motor) for back window is in at parts. Getting changed Tues.

Don't know what to do about front driver window. Works fine now. It's easy enough to fix, but I don't wanna go to the dealer again for this. Does there have to be a re-design for the problem to never come back or will new/different parts do the trick? Window comes off the track when you close the door and the window is down in the door.
Don't wanna be somewhere on a long trip or when the dealer is closed and forget and close my door with the window down in it and be left hanging because the window won't go up. Will definately get new parts if it happens again, regardless if it is redesigned or not. It will be taken care off while under warranty!

Time for that long quiet 20 mile stare of death at the dealership.

Rear passenger window regulator in. Took about 1 1/2 hours at dealer. At least they said it was done. Sounds better, hopefully they did more than shoot it with wd40 or grease the tracks. Front driver window still good. But have not shut door with window down in it since last dealer visit.

Supposed to have made tail gate bib tighter (near the bottom, underneath the handle, where the black plastic touches the paint). They said they did, but I asked them how they worked on it with the tailgate locked. Service writter said he would ask. Came back 2 minutes later and said tech had unlocked it and locked it back with the ignition key (which is all I gave them). I said how did you open the hard tonneau, it was locked and I have the key in my pocket. .......... No answer....... I said it's just like when I brought it in this morning (I waited for it). ......no answer......... Service writter went to see tech. Said if it gets any more loose to bring it back. I said, "you mean more loose than when I brought it in this morning when it was loose then?...... No answer........
Those guys are really funny. Glad I have the time to take care of all this piddly stuff this summer cause I can't be going to the dealer 2 and 3 times for cripply crap when summer is over. Oh well. At least I know I have to "consistantly" check their inconsistancies.
