SINCE PURCHASING IN 09/2013 DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WINDOW HAS BEEN GRINDING WHEN LOWERING WITH POWER WINDOW SWITCH. DID NOT SEEM TO BE HUNG RIGHT INSIDE THE DOOR BUT ALWAYS COMPLETED SEAL WHEN CLOSING. SOUNDED LIKE A PIECE OF PLASTIC WAS CAUGHT BETWEEN THE GLASS AND DOOR. TOOK APART, DID NOT SEE ANY THING. 01/2015, WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN THE FINAL 2 INCHES. FIGURED IT WAS DUE TO COLD WEATHER. 02/2015 AFTER PARKING IN DRIVEWAY WITH WINDOW DOWN, WENT TO OPEN DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TO GET OUT OF CAR. DOOR WAS STUCK. SHUT DOOR, APPLIED NORMAL (MINIMAL) FORCE TO THE DOOR IN THE AREA OF THE DOOR HANDLE (WAS NOT PRESSING ON GLASS) AND DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED, LEAVING GLASS INSIDE THE DOOR AND INSIDE THE VEHICLE. *JS
