The top of the passenger and driver door glass are starting to hit the roof when closing the door. I'm a little reluctant to let someone get in and adjust them. Anyone else have this issue.

You need a new window regulator most likely.

Try this:

Index Viper Windows

1) Get in car and close the door.
2) Turn the key on to the second position. Don't start.
3) Cycle window down and hold switch for 5 seconds and release.
4) Cycle window up and hold switch for 5 seconds and release.
5) Repeat 2 more times.

Brian: does this reset/adjust the mechanism for proper calibration and fit? Thanks, Jeff

It sets the proper height for the up and down position of the window. (assuming your window regulator is working properly)
If you have had a dead battery/battery replacement, its very common to have to index your windows. Once set, your window glass should drop about 1/4 inch when opening the door. It will automatically go up to the full closed postion once the door is fully closed.

I had the same problem with my 08. I tried the adjustment procedure several times and that didn't work. I finally had the dealer replace the window regulator and it fixed the problem.

Brian: It took about 5 cycles but it appears to finally be there. Very close tolerance; glass to roof lip. My tech just installed a battery tender; maybe that's what happened? Thanks for your help.
