Slow driver's window

I have a 2018 Fit EX-L and I've noticed a few things that strike me as strange. One of which is the rate that the driver's side window rolls up is significantly slower than all the other windows. Is that normal? Does anyone else have the same issue?

no not normal. that is how mine was brand new and required new glass and regulator to fix. pretty soon your glass might separate from the regulator causing the glass to potentially fall out of the frame like mine..lol

can’t believe honda is still having the same issue 3 yrs later and allowing cars pass QC. this is wat i mean about honda's quality going down the drain the last 10+yrs.

take it back to the dealer and complain.

The easy answer of course is that you have a brand new vehicle. I'd take it in for warranty repair on the issue.

I would say, I don't notice a significant difference with any of my windows as far as how quickly they raise or lower.

Hopefully your dealership service department will be supportive in this regard. Even if they balk at anything, I'd want it documented that you believe it is an issue.
No, I don't think your drivers side window should be raising or lowering significantly slower than any of your other windows.

Not normal imo. Take it to the dealer and see what they have to say.

That is definitely not normal. Any dealer is going to go (facepalm, honda quality control), then ok we'll get on it.

I thought for sure Honda would have had all the quality issues ironed out by now. they've only been building the car for four years now.
