Factory settings for rear passenger window provide too much lift to window which place increase stress on weather stripping. Over time, weather stripping can break and compromise the door's electrical system. It also impairs how door closes leading to increased stress on the door pillar which can give way and break.

THE BUTTON FOR THE ROOF TO SLIDE NO LONGER WORKS, THE PANEL IS BENT, IT IS CURVED. IT WOULD NOT GO BACK ON AND NO LONGER WORKS THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO OPERATE.
