i had a problem like this before with my passenger side window. i could only roll the window down so far that if i tried to roll it down passed that point, the door would pop open. the metal rod that opens the door when you pull the handle was in the way of letting the window roll down all the way. so i used a zip tie to tie it out of the way.

its not really a "problem", it seems more like a child safety feature .. cuz they both stop in the EXACt same spot... this is why i dont get it... took apart the vinyl on the door, but i couldnt get to the window (damn window roller upper)

anyways - i was lookin through the book on my car and it says nothing about any kinda child safety features... just seems like the window stoppers are stopping it early

take the door side off. two screws on the bottom one on side of it. one by the vent. take out door handle pop out U pin holding handle on wiht a flat head take off speaker grill and 2 bolt under the cover.

pull from the bottom and gently lift up. take all the plastic off then see hwatr the problem is.

You didn't put big speakers in the doors did you?
