My DB9 volante does not like the cold

I have a problem when the temperature drops below 45, my automatic window drop when opening the door doesn't work. The door will open with some gentle pressure and sometimes will work after working it up and down a few times or warming up on the drive to work. The last couple days it hasn't warmed up enough to work at all. Anyone experience this or have thoughts on how to remedy this?

Sorry for making light of your problem. It was hard to resist as it was 82 in Central FL last w/e.
Hope someone has a more suitable solution!

Probably since I brought it up from a nice life in Miami.

First thing to try is the "window reset" procedure -- run the window all the way down and keep holding the button until you hear a click (2-3 seconds). Then run it up and hold until it clicks. Should restore the dip when you open the door.

Mine started losing their memory in cold weather too. I had the window modules reflashed by the dealer and all has been well since then.

Tried the rest procedure a few times. It will allow the windows to work correctly until I turn the car off. Now that it's warmed up all is well. Frustrating. The windows make a lot of noise on the rubber, anything to use to soften and lubricate it without making a mess on the window?

Thanks for the replies.

Try rubbing a very small amount of silicon grease into the seal
