Today I got the window anti-trap warning. I've searched the forum and found a couple suggestions on reinitializing - none of them agree, and for those that I've tried none of them have worked. Does anyone have the official procedure for a rear window. Currently, my window will go up and down in 3 inch increments for each up or down movement of the switch.

all you have to do to readjust the window, is to pull it up all the way...once its there (all the way up), pull the window up again make sure its past the preasure point of the auto and keep your finger thier for about 5 seconds...the window should be back to normall....

Usually, when battery is disconnected, this message will go up.
Try auto mode for all windows to see which one does not function in auto mode (automatically going up/down). Once you find it, hold the switch until it goes up all the way down. Release the switch and switch and hold it again. Message will go away.

I had to keep resetting mine on a weekly basis. On my last visit to the dealership, I asked them to fix it. The tech had to disassemble the window tracks and re-align and re-lubricate them. I haven't had a problem since then, which was about two months ago.

OK, I've tried what people have recommended and no luck. I guess I'll have to go to the dealership now... 
I certainly DIDN'T need to visit my dealer.
