Windows wont open when temp drops
Good evening,
I'm having an issue with my 17 E43 in that when the temperature drops into the teens, none of the windows will open. After driving for about 45 minutes, as the interior of the car warms up all of the windows will open. I've been driving for 30 years had a ton of cars to include about 5 Mercedes and never experienced this issue. I can understand if there was snow and ice on the windows, but this is ridiculous! I need to open the drivers window each morning to swipe my card at the office. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I've checked the weather-stripping around each window and all look okay.
Other than this issue, car is great, I have about 5000 miles on it.
Thanks.

The dealer can take of that easily with some lubrication. The motors will stop on resistance and the lower temp seems to create just enough of it.
No big deal...
