    Hello,
    Wondering if anyone has information on this. Gen 1, 2008.5 mazdaspeed 3 hatch.

    2 front windows will stay stuck up if rolled all the way up and left for at least a handful of minutes like that. It takes manual down ward pressure while pressing down button to get them unstuck.

    2 rear windows seem to be misaligned on the track. The motor makea a clicking/grindih noise if trying to roll up windows farther than top, when before it wouldn't if already rolled up.

    Trying to figure out how to reset the windows for the rear, as the holding button combinations doesn't seem to be doing anything, as well as why the fronts would stick closed if rolled completely up.

    My car would do that first roll down of the day or if it sat outside in the sun. I did have tint on my car so I think that played a factor.

    You can try cleaning the upper window seal area of the door itself. It may also help to try some baby power or something along those lines and use your finger to smear it into the seal. It would keep the seal dry and reduce friction.

    As for the alignment you'd need to pull the door panel off, then roll the window all the way up and loosen the bolts holding the glass to the regulator. Then torque it to spec and see how it moves.
