COLD weather window issues

As us coupe owner know.... when all the window are closed and you open the door, the windows drop a bit to the clear the rubber and when closing the door the pop back up.

Interesting thing is that when its gets well below freezing,
they drop BUT do NOT always pop back up when closng the door.
Quite bothersome when its 10 F outside.
THis only happens on the drivers side, and only when is VERY cold outside.

Any ideas???

That is odd, I agree.

With my 215, I get the same problem in all temperatures ONLY when I close the door and start the car before it gets a chance to close that last 1/2 inch. I then would have to manually give it that final close. If you're able to close it after you close your door manually, then your motor is fine. On the 215 there is a regulator that's in charge of conducting these tasks, but i'm not sure how it is on the 140.
