drivers side rear window auto roll down issue

So ive got an 05 clk55 i recently bought, when i open the drivers side door and the windows open a tad like they are supposed to: the rear window on the drivers side opens like 2 inches. the passenger side one only opens a tiny bit like its supposed to.

I tried to recalibrate the window with the switch a few times, didnt work well. any other ideas on how to get that window functioning properly?

also: how would one replace the seal between the front and rear windows? do you have to buy a new rear window with the seal attached or can you buy just the seal?

You cam alway disconnect the battery for 30 mins and recalibrate it.

What kind of engineers would design it like that? Buy the whole window just for the seal?

I has a similar issue with my driverside window, although it wasn't a full 2 inches. It wouldn't go all the way up when I closed the door and would rattle while I drive (it would go away when I hit the window switch). My indy worked on it and it went away (I think they hooked it up to STAR and made adjustments). They didn't charge me anything since I'm there all the time

That's one of the best things about Indies. Develop a relationship ad they can be very helpful.
