Micro switch on the outer handle would be the first place to look - may need cleaning, may need replacing.

I believe there is a second mirco switch that part of the lock or hinge mechanism. One switch tell the windo to drop when the door is opened, the other tells is to remain open until the door is closed.

It sound like the door thinks its closed and therefore not maintaining the comfort gap.

Search for it using the search, there have been stacks of threads on this i think

You could try re teaching the windows. There is a procedure and I am not sure where to find it

When mine get out of whack I just fiddle with them until I hit on the right sequence. You could try powering the windows all the way down and turning of the car...on again. Then actuate them closed; from inside try the handle or get out and try the handle ...

Here's some Q&A about window troubleshoot.
It might be connecting point between the doors too..(bad connection, corroding)

Thanks or the input... I tried this and the window will behave only for a short while then it will not function. I believe I need to replace the micro switch.
