When it's dry the window functions normally, it's manual by the way, but when it rains it freezes up and will not roll down until it drys out. What's up with that?

Yeah it's very odd indeed! Just an hour or so after a shower it will be back to normal. Thinking of pulling the door panel off and lubing all of the joints an see what happens. The passenger side isn't affected by water but it is pretty hard to roll down at any time so might do that side all so, any one have any advice about removing the panels, what not to do that sort of thing? THANKS!

Took door panel off and lubed every thing in sight! Seems that corrosion had gotten in to the joints of the mechanism and with a little bit of moisture would seize right up. Buttoned it back up and put the hose on it, rolls down AND then back up like new! Did the passenger side also and the same result,
