    Can any of you check this out on your GIII Prius?

    I have long legs so my left knee is usually resting on the (interior) door panel when I'm driving. When I roll up the window all the way, the interior door panel seems to move inward when the window gets to where it is all the way up. It doesn't seem quite right. I haven't had a chance to check out the passenger side. Anyone else experience this? Do I have my first warranty issue???

    Thanks,
    -Jay

    In my Current Prius Gen III - V, and in 2 prior cars (not Prius) I have always noticed the little push when the window hit's the closed position. It's part of the mechanics of the design. The window closes closer to the door jamb thus you get the little push into the door panel/frame of the door. I only detect it as well, when something like my knee is resting close to the door.

    I think your OKand there is no issue. :)

    Many cars have the same issue.

    Mine does the same (as have other cars I've owned). It's not concerning to me.
