“Driver's window. My wife had just started her 2005 Toyota matrix and put the window down. When she put it back up, the window suddenly rotated and started to slide down inside the door. I was able to manually pull the glass back into position. We tried putting it up a second time and the window tried to rotate down inside the door again. After realigning it and gently leaning on the glass, we were able to fully close the window. The car has 150,000 miles. This is the exact same issue that has occured in the '03 & '04 models, NHTSA # 08v162000”
