Smart glass...dumb engineering.

Can't you figure a way to disable the feature?

Just a guess, I bet whoever designed that "feature" has never EVER owned a car through a "real" winter................
Nope. When you close the door it raises into the weatherstripping track. I've had the window stuck up while the door is closed, so you have to pry the door open. I've had it stuck up when the door is open, so you can't close the door. I've had it not go up when you close the door. And I've also had the window open itself while parked in a rainstorm. Had the awesome experience of driving 5 hours home in a suit on soaking wet leather. At least I had the soothing sound of the "Hemi tick" to make the drive more relaxing.
