Default Window won't drop to allow door to close

Today for the first time, my passenger door had trouble shutting. Couldn't figure it out at first but then I noticed the window won't drop the 1/4 inch to allow the door to close. If I hit the button it goes up and down fine (although the auto up/down doesn't seen to work.). I've seen posts where this has happened in freezing weather but I'm in So Cal and it's been in the 80s all week and the car is never outdoors overnight. Thoughts? Otherwise it'll be in for warranty repair on Monday.

Ok. I'm a dumbass. I'll admit it. Should've read the manual thoroughly. Apparently I just had to reset the windows. In case this is happening to anyone else, just lower the window all the way then raise it all the way up. Then release the button. Then pull up the button again and hold for more than a few seconds. Voila! Back in action. It's also embarrassing to admit I also learned you can close the hatch from the inside by holding the door button until it closes. Have had the car 6 months and just figured this out. Now if the key fob would only lower the hatch......

Key Fob can you have to use VCDS to get that to happen. I have done my car and love it.

Can you post instructions on lowering the hatch with the fob? I couldn't find it with the VCDS.

Also, I'd like to open the windows with the fob. Is that possible?
