The front of the driver side window doesn't roll all the way up.

The front of the driver side window doesn't roll all the way up suddenly... so the windows close all the way in the back, but has a slight gap at the front. The door doesn't seem to close properly and wind blows loudly when i am driving.

Where should I take it for repair? the dealership? or just call those mobile windows repair truck?

Thanks!

Not sure where to take it, but if you use the button and gently rock it you can probably get it closed for the upcoming rain.

Take off the door card and take a look inside the door to see if the window fell out of the track. Also check out the service manual for information on how to adjust the window.

Do this, fixing a window problem early can save you a big headache later! I ignored a clicking sound from my window and eventually the motor ripped one of the 3 mounting bolts out of the door structure. I was able to get everything secured again, but had it been any worse I would have been looking at about $800 for a new (painted) door.

Are you sure it's the window not rolling all the way up and not just a bad seal against the weather stripping?

Keep in mind your have a frameless window, so if anything were to be misaligned on that window you could have a bad seal.

My '03 had that problem as well as my friend with an '02. In both cases it was the driver's side window. It just takes some minor adjusting if that's the case.
