principal,
Yes, it can be that difficult!
It's a safety feature to prevent you from catching your dog, or your child, or someone sitting in the passenger seat
in the rapidly closing window going fully closed.
You could conceivably still catch or injure you pet/child/co drivers arm, but when they yell, you would
release the window up button.
With the express function......Ouch! and potential death of child or pet, severe arm back injury to co driver.
Imagine them jammed up at the top of the window....just hanging there...while you figure out how to get the
window back down.
Not a pretty scenario!
The window closes from full open to fully closed in a matter of a few seconds....I'll take the safer route,
it's not a lot of time.
