Official summary

Complaint Excessive resistance of door side windows when being raised/lowered, cracking and squeaking noises. Cause Sealing lip of inner sealing rail (see picture 1 and picture 2, pos. 40 and 130) folds down while side windows are being lowered (opened). When the side windows are raised (closed), the sealing lip is pulled back up again. Remedy Replace inner sealing rail. Then perform normalization of the window lifter system in the relevant door control unit.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
