druadan Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Well, after this first real cold snap in Toronto, my windows would not go down yesterday or today. I only took short 15 min. drives either day. Dealer has been advised. 7 months and 9000 KM's, and car is great so far other than hood cowl rattle at HWY speed which I have not had fixed yet. Anyone other cold weather Journeys encountering this. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLM Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Hmmm. We just went through that same cold snap. I didn't notice anything, but opening my window at -5° was the last thing on my mind, lol! I'll keep that in mind and try it next time. I park in a garage so with no ice issues it will be interesting to verify that it is/is not a cold issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada_Jay Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I live in Oshawa. I did notice that the journey window motors seem very weak. Gets a little cold and they are really slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStewie Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I live in Oshawa. I did notice that the journey window motors seem very weak. Gets a little cold and they are really slow. We are in Hamilton. Window problems here too. I think the rubber seals are sticking to the glass. They are frozen together and after a bit of warm up while driving the car they work well. No cowl noise though. We had the same issue with our old Pontiac Transport van. The windows would freeze shut and work after the vehicle warmed up. But We do love those heated side mirrors and seats!! The Stewie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyoram Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I would say the windows are getting frozen to the lower window sill as well. One morning I went out to the car and the window hung up for a second untill it broke the little bit of ice built up. If you really need your window down, use a credit card or something similar and slide it between the window and rubber strip. Be careful you could actually tear the rubber by doing this. Been there and done that with another ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonymnyphot Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I haven't had problems with the windows yet, but the rear drivers door will not unlock when it's below -2. I have to pull it up from the inside when it has warmed up after about 20 minutes, then works fine until it cools down again. Hopefully the front doors won't get stuck!
