I just tried it and it worked thanks alot 
i started my car
went to the rear left door and opened it
i clicked and held the button to open it ( it opened 3 inches) and kept holding it for 20 seconds and then quickly closed it and held it for 20 seconds...the way you know it works is because as youre holding the close button your window begins to open all in one complete motion and than closes in one complete motion as well..thanks alot Rudy

Wow! I am so glad you posted these instructions. I tried a bunch of other techniques that I found via Google and this was the only one that worked. Thanks!!

Worked like a charm for me on the second try.
I did not hear any beeps, I did accept the inital warning that comes on when you start the car, and go into service codes to see the actual "anti-trap" error when I performed it for the second try.
Also I believe you CANNOT sit at the driver side to perform these unless the driver side window is the one with the issue.
Here were my steps...
1) I had the car started
2) Roll down the window all the way from the "broken" window (it wants to stop every xx inches, keep making it go down all the way)
3) I released the switch
4) I pushed and held down (I heard from another place that it needs to be exactly 17 seconds)
5) After 17 seconds I immediatly pulled up on the switch to roll the window up (it went all the way up).
6) after the window went all the way up, and still holding the up switch, it rolled all the way down, and then all the way up once more.
7) After #6 the process was complete and the window was functioning normal again.
Hope that helps.
