Mine was doing that at first & only got worse till eventually it got stuck down about 1/4 of the way & would no longer go up! Mine is a 2004 350 Z Roadster Touring edition. Nissan looked at it & said it needed a motor & a regulator. A guy friend of mine replaced the regulator (Looks kinda like a open frame with coils on it) & it worked at first but now it's messing up again. We think it just needs to be adjusted. I have to do the same thing as you, I open the door before I kill the engine, then I 1st have to roll the window down in order to get it to go back up. Sometimes that works but sometimes I have to kill the engine & restart it several times in order for the window to work. I have found out that if I try to manually pull the window some at the top that it helps. VERY FRUSTRATING as it would be quite costly to take it to Nissan for repair & I don't trust them as I feel most dealerships are big rip offs! I think Nissan tried to screw me by telling me the window needed a new motor and a regulator, if that was the case I don't think the window would function at all. I'm a woman with just basic auto knowledge but that seems logical to me! Of course all this happened AFTER my extended warranty had just expired! When my friend took the old regulator out he said some of the coils were bound up. Hope this helps & if you find out differantly please let me know. Thanks, Reanie
