My wife's 1999 Sonata driver side window is very slow to close especially on
cold wet days. The dealership said they fixed it once then twice saying
nothing is wrong with the window.
You actually have to pull the window up while pushing the button when the
window is about 1/2 way up to get it to close.
We are at a loss and it is a pain in the butt to get your food from the back
window at drive thru's. Ha Ha

Thanks in advance

JMach,

The window track is almost certainly misaligned. It doesn't take much
misalignment to make the window bind. Continued operation in that state
puts stress on the window motor, and more importantly, on the operating
mechanism -- especially the plastic portions of the regulator.

There is a fuzzy insert on the inner surface of the window track and
when the track is wet it has greater resistance, exacerbating the
problem.

It's kind of humorous that the dealer would tell you that nothing was
wrong when you have to pull the window up by hand. Obviously that's not
true, and if you are under warranty your most economical choice is to
continue to ask for the window to be repaired. If you are out of
warranty any competent garage should be able to fix it the first time.

Good luck,
Harry
 
Does it make an noise when you press the button to close it?

I had problems with my 99 Sonata drivers side window as well.
I went to my dealer and they just replaced the regulator, under warranty.
