...Goes to me for this week. We had A LOT of rain here just before Christmas, followed by a deep freeze overnight. Long story short, my truck is usually in the garage overnight, but I left it outside. Got up to single digit temps, got the garage cleared out, so I could move the truck inside and let it thaw. Started up no issue, had to tug on the door a bit because it was frozen shut.
My daughter came outside wanted to ask me a question, I tried to open the passenger window, which of course was frozen shut.
Once the truck thawed out, I found that the window had separated from the regulator inside the door when I tried to open it. So - It would not go all the way down, and when closing, it would try to go too high, and reverse.
Spent some time in You Tube, found a couple of videos that did a good job describing the process to remove the inside trim from the door, which it turns out is easy. Took it off, and found that the is a hole in the glass in the front and back, and a plastic clip that attached to the hole, the other end of the clip attaches to the rail that holds the window. Got the clip out, and verified that it was not broken (Lucky me).
I was able to reattach everything, and get it back together and working, so no harm done.
Lesson learned - Don't open the windows after a heavy rain and refreeze.
