Maybe disconnect the battery and reboot?

Run the drivers window up to the top and hold the button there for about 4 seconds. If that works, do it to the rest of the windows. That is a reset for the window travel. Gets its itty bitty brain scrambled a little bit and you have to set it straight.

My issue is that when I auto up my front windows it'll go up then come back down a few inches. Will this fix that?

Default Sort of the same thing.......

My '01 RX was doing almost the same thing. If my knee touched the armrest on the door, the windows would start going down on their own. I tried to clean the contacts on the door switch, but eventually had to replace the switch assembly. $$$$$$$

I'd try cleaning everything before taking to dealership.

Just my 2 cents.....

It should. Give it a try. Price is right and it is easier than just about anything else you'll do today.
