09 E350 Front Windows?

Just picked up my 09 E350 4matic this past weekend and noticed that with the front windows in the fully down position, the glass still sticks out and is not totally hidden in the door panel.

Is this normal?

Thanks in advance.

I have an '08 E350 4Matic and my windows do the same thing. I took it to the dealer and they said it was completely normal.

Normal, they will stick up just a tad.

Thanks everyone. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who thought it was a little weird.

Our '05 does the same thing! It's apparent that M-B doesn't consider fixing this obvious shortcoming any kind of a priority.

I'll soon be going to test-drive a Cadillac CTS, and I fearlessly predict that it won't have this "feature"!

Stupid oversight. It hurts your arm when drive with window down and arm at window. Is MB thought no Benz driver drives with windows down!?
