Default TT in cold weather
I have an '08 coupe and with temperatures at -14C (7F) the electric windows will not open nor will they seal properly when the door closes.

Common problem?

Default Happened in Chicago yesterday, but worked when the car heated up.
Granted we've been getting a lot of snow and moisture followed by todays -10° record breaker.

To get it to seal properly by jarring it up and down

It should seal itself after you close the door.

Do you garage your car or is it out in the open?
Mine's garaged and I didn't get this problem this morning. I live in Chicago as well.

That's the problem: the cold stops the window from moving its full cycle

No, unfortunately it's not garaged. Oddly enough, it sealed fine this morning even though it was colder than yesterday by a couple of degrees here in Toronto.
