Window jammed

[shunt]

It was very cold here last week. So it was normal that my windows were not able to open when the car was still cold but after 10mins , 3 of the 4 windows were able to open. Passenger side was still jammed. Even after 30 mins of warm air in car, it still would not open. I'm not in the habit of riding around with windows opened in winter... got the CX in October so I'm just testing different things. Temps finally reached -5 this week and after 30 mins it finally opened. Have any of you experienced a weaker window in the 2014's?
I'm just thinking that it could be a safety issue, if the window is the only way out after an accident or to impress a hot chick....

Did you wash the car and the water froze in the rubber seal?

 

[shunt]

Nope. No obstruction either (ice or clump of snow).

If it's not ice, what else would it be? I can't imagine the cold changes the amount of friction between the window and the seal that much on it's own. And I doubt it's a function of cold metal contracting and creating a bind somewhere. I could be wrong about all this, but what exactly would be causing windows that operate perfectly when warm to fail when it gets cold if not ice?

Its definitely ice causing it. I wouldn't waste any sleep over it.

You are right though, the chicks do dig a cool power window.

If you have any safety concerns carry an impact tool, I don't know the correct name for it, but the tool will shatter the glass to enable escape, its a popular tool with tealeaves.

You're probably all right on this one. Works fine today and it's pretty cold.
Now I have the traction control and tire pressure lights on. WHAAA??

Tire presssures drop about 1 pound for every degree drop. So check your tires when cold. Ed

Both TP and TC are monitored by the ABS sensor. It might have frozen also. My friend had this happen to him with his Nissan Versa last year. Maybe you had some rain or melt, followed by fast freezing. If you can get your car into a warm garage and let it melt and dry out a bit, it should go away, else you'll have to visit you dealer: ABS and TC are important safety equipement you should keep in top shape.

Might have been the case because drove it for 15 minutes and lights went off.
