Liberty Power Windows

Let me first say that I love my 2006 Liberty. I have had my Liberty since December of 2006. In the past 11 months I have taken her in four times, each time to fix each of my 4 power windows because they fall off the track. My dealer says that this is common in hot weather (I live in AZ) as the part that keeps this from happening deteriorates in hot weather and since this is selective in occurrence, a recall is not possible. I am getting ready to take her back again as my driver's side window is showing signs of slippage again. Anyone else have this issue and what are our recourses? My warranty is up next month and then no freebie repairs on this chronic problem. What to do?????

Yep,
My 2006 Liberty is on 3 windows in 10,000 miles. First and last Chrysler product for me.

Just out of curiosity, Fleetofmany, do you live in an area where the weather is comparable to Arizona's heat? The reason I ask is, as I said before, Jeep is blaming this "glitch" as exclusive to Libertys that are exposed to enduring hot weather

I have a 2006 jeep liberty and it sucks as far as the windows, Three of my windows have come off track and I'm always in the shop. They said this isn't the first problems they've had with these windows. Plus all my rims are peeling.

As I am trying to compile a case for a recall on this window issue, could you tell me what part of the country you live in and if heat is an issue for where you live?

Hello....yes, I have a 2005 Liberty and have had numerous issues with my Power Windows. I have had the car almost 2 years and have had to bring it in 4 times, so far. It just turned 40,000 and now they want to charge me $375 to fix the regulator on my drivers side passenger one. I just had the drivers side front fix a little over 2 months ago...just barely under warranty.
Let me know how you make out...wluken nc.rr.com. Thanks.

Been a long time since I installed a car window in its holder. A spongy semi-tough semi-sticky strip of rubber-like material was used then to hold the bottom of the window glass in the frame. It’s an interference fit. The bottom of the frame is held solid, the strip is put in place and the window is just shoved straight in until it bottoms out. The problem I am having with the heat theory is that the installation material would tend to get softer while getting stickier – unless the heat dries out the material and it hardens losing its stickiness. That should take about a decade to happen unless the material is low quality. I suppose there could be a design problem fit between the glass, strip and groove.
With the method I am talking about the mating surfaces of the glass and the frame need to be very clean. The strip needs to be accurately positioned and the window needs to be bottomed out in the groove.
What to do?????
Your might stop by or call an auto body supply store and ask what they are using these days to hold automotive window glass in the frame and see if the dealer’s story holds water. Our local store is called “Auto Body Supply” and they have it all.
Then try to make sure the dealer is using the right stuff.

AWESOME ANSWER! Thank you for that. I've gotten a few responses from other Liberty owners who are experiencing my same problem. I will do my research at local Auto supply stores and even auto glass replacement businesses to see what materials are being used.
Thank you  , thank you , thank you

My '06 Liberty has had the Drivers side Window Regulator replaced under Warranty . The Passenger side is now acting up and is the next candidate.

Spinnakerbabe, after reading a number of posts including Adrianj's, about having the regulators replaced I'm not so sure my response to you was all that good. The potential problem that I discussed does not require replacing the regulator. Maybe there are two separate problems, maybe not.
