windows

my drivers side window sticks to the seal when it has been closed for a while when winding the window down the windows makes a noise like breaking the suction on a suction cup. also the drivers window also goes up and down slower than all my others.....
all the interior door panels tend to expand/shift outwards to wards the seats when they move down and then when the windows closes they move back in is this normal??
what should i do.
also the drivers window also tends to go up crooked and i think it need adjusting how do i do that??

thanks matt

there is a TSB out for the slow window up and down issue. Here it is

http://www.geocities.com/pfeifferper...rontwindow.pdf

My window did it to and the dealer, under warranty, replaced the regulator. Well that didnt fix it so I removed the door panel and did find the run channel not fully seated in the sash, fixed it and the problem went away. the window now rolls up like it should.

Now my passenger window seal on the bottom also peals back when I roll down the window. I just roll it up a bit untill it goes back to normal, then roll the window down. Now sure how to really fix that.

And yes it is normal when the door panels extend outward and inward when rolling the windows up and down.

thanks for your help so if it as tsb problem does that mean they will repair it no charge? i live in australia and don't know what a tsb is and whether or not they will fix it under waranty should they? i have only just bought the car and it cam with a waranty.
why do the door panels move in and out with the movement of the wondow this strikes me as extreemly odd i have never seen another car do it

I really have no idea why the door panels move like that. But a TSB is a technical service bulliten. Its basically information on how to fix certain problems that are common with that car. and yes it would be covered under warranty, but it is very simple to fix if that is the problem. Just remove the door panel and see if the trim is in the sash. If it isnt, it takes 2 seconds to put it back in. And it should fix the problem. If that sash is fine, more then likely the regulator is failing.
