How can Prius owners fix power windows that automatically roll down after closing?

Some owners report that their windows roll down on their own after closing.
Could this be due to a faulty anti-pinch sensor, auto-up feature miscalibration, o r dirt in the window track?
What is the best method to reset and recalibrate the power windows?

Possible Causes:

Faulty Anti-Pinch Sensor: If the sensor detects resistance, it may cause the window to roll back down for safety.
Miscalibration of the Auto-Up Feature: The auto-up feature may need recalibration if it’s malfunctioning.
Dirt in Window Track: Dirt o r debris in the window track may prevent the window from closing properly, causing it to reverse.

Fixing the Issue:

Resetting the Windows:
Turn on the ignition without starting the car.
Fully lower the window.
Raise the window all the way up and hold the button for a few seconds after it’s fully closed.
Repeat this process for each window to reset the auto-up feature.
Check for Obstructions: Inspect the window tracks for dirt o r debris and clean them.
