Help: dealer might not be able to fix window problem (2012 Yaris) - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thank you.

Well, after the guy at the dealer called me and said they couldn't do anything about it, I went to pick up the car and he told me they adjusted the position of the hand crank. This was my 4th trip to the dealer and I was surprised they didn't do that before. He showed me that if the handcrank isn't ALL THE WAY in the CCW position, the window will not lock into place. He even grabbed the glass and slid it down with his hands, showing me how the glass wouldn't lock in place if the the crank wasn't all the way to the CCW position. He said he talked to Toyota about it and it was a "quirk" of the car, but they're all that way.

As of now, it looks to be fixed, but I'll keep an eye on it. Still a bit nervous about the whole deal. Thanks again.
