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.

Heat is not the issue as told me by my dealership. I told them about your problem when I took my jeep there again. I live in Tn. Just had another window turn loose and drop in the door just setting in my driveway.

Charliee2....did the dealership give you a reason as to why this happens? All I ever hear is that it's an inherent problem that Libertys have (good to know that it's not the heat that does this). That, for some reason, isn't acceptable to me. Seems as though if there's a pattern of problems, the maker of the vehicle would stand by their product and correct it and continue to fix it for those of us who already have purchased the vehicle and are experiencing problems. But what do I know?
