Passenger window won't stay up
On my 2007 Lexus ES350, the front passenger window does not stay up.
Using either the driver's switch or the passenger door switch, the window rolls up to the top, then comes back down (the other three windows work fine).
With deft manipulation of the switch, I can get it almost closed.
The only recent 'event' on the car is that I changed the eight year-old OEM battery two weeks ago; the window began acting up two days ago.
Is this programming that was lost when the battery was removed, or am I looking a regulator/pinch motor issue?
Thanks

Quick info if I recall - from Drivers seat:
1. turn on car (no brake, no start - just 2x press on power)
2. Press "open window - auto down" position on switch and hold down for 5-10 seconds after window is all the way down
3. Press "close window - auto up" position on switch and hold down for 5-10 seconds after window is all the way up.
The last time I disconnected the battery to install an amp/sub, the window lights embedded in the switches would flash off and on until I performed this procedure. They're tiny though and you might not notice it during the day.

False alarm.
The rubber window channel got bent over and activated the 'pinch motor'. I smoothed the channel back down, and the window works.
My guess is that someone tried to jimmy the window while the car was parked at an event I attended.
