I tried to reset the express up and down from the Manuel. I also looked up inside to see if the is anything that would cause it to stop. It’s just when the door shuts the window goes up no issues and isn’t in a bind. Open the door the window drops about an inch.

Ok, cause on some cars like Mustangs & Camaros when u open the door the windows roll down ¾ of an inch. The motor u put in may be programmed to roll down that far when the door is open and roll up when the door is closed. It probably would cost money to have a dealer to look @ it.

As long as the window is up when the door is closed is what matters.

I just don’t see anything in the book or online stating that. I know after market parts could be that way. That did cross my mind as thought about what your saying. I did notice today while playing with it again if you disconnect the window motor and plug it back in it will work right for A few minutes or rolling up and down and opening and closing the door then it goes back to the same thing all over again. I thought about just swapping and putting older motor on the new actuator and see if it matters? It works fine.

The regulator will do only what the motor tells it to. So if the old motor is good just put it back on the new regulator.
