3 months in and windows have a mind of there own.
Jan freezing weather. Window would not go up. Had to grab and pull up. Took to dealer could not reproduce. I noticed it slow before this but it always went up.
Passenger side window like to roll back down roll up roll back down. Turn bronco of back on several times. Tried the reset on Line problem is can’t get the window to stay up to complete the procedure. Using auto up and control up. After about 15 min of messing with it it stayed up. I’d do the procedure and all good for about 3 weeks
Happened again tonight. Took longer to finally get it to stay up. Actually did it with the door open this time. Shut door did procedure. See what happens. Waist to take yo dealer it wont do it while there.
Also had passenger side window roll all the way down just opening the door? It worked fine after this but strange.
a few times when opening the driver door a 4 windows will do the drop thing.
Can’t believe how long cars have had windows and can’t get it to work in a 60,000 vehicle.
Over all love the Bronco but this is a pain in the a$$.

thanks just venting

I agree, the windows are terrible. They wobble and feel cheap, need resetting all the time, and there have been 2-3 occasions where one of my windows fully rolled down when the car was fully parked in my driveway/at work.

Worst thing about the Bronco IMO

Just to eliminate this as a possible cause. ………Where is your key fob when this is happening. Just wondering if maybe you’re unknowingly activating the global window feature when fob is your pocket.. just an idea…

EDIT:
Nevermind , I forgot about the rolling up slow etc..

I don't have a problem with the windows, but I think that's because I have the large windows that only come with the two-door.
They probably still used all four window motors, and just put two per window for those massive panes of glass

MASSIVE Panes of Glass is the name of my new band. Seriously, my wife went to the store today and volunteered me as the lead singer of a band... that some customer proclaimed he was starting with two of the cashiers... so, maybe it's not a real band... yet. :wink:

Same feelings about the windows here. Any time a passenger gets in my car I get scared the window will break at any minute. I know they won’t, but every pull makes them flimsier.
If some aftermarket company ever makes doors with non-frameless windows, I’d pay top dollar for them

I’ve had no issues and I’m glad I haven’t, that sounds frustrating to deal with.
I like the frameless doors myself and do not notice any window wiggle, it’s windows up or down for me though, I don’t run around with windows at half or 3/4.

For the hell of it try disconnecting the battery for 15-20 minutes.

volkswage cc had issues with its windows, but aurora did not.

I've found I do check and adjust the angle from underneath the door occasionally and that helps keep them tight and not wobble. The window reset is required every now and then. just did it on the passenger rear as it would not auto up. only down. but one reset fixed that.

All of these "issues" compiled, I'm still ok with the frameless windows. I like their advantages. However, I haven't had the shit dont work issues like some others.
