Default Manual windows, why cant they stay up?

Have a 2012 JKU with roll up windows (big regret). They always seem to open a bit on their own. Any ideas how to stop this?

Have a 2013 with manual windows. i find that it's because my knee hits the crank. Make sure you roll them all the way up.
You can always put in power windows.

It's not my knee, it's 3 of the windows. Thinking I can pull off crank and reposition with them straight down when window is fully closed. Other wise I guess I have a Jeep Ghost

Same problem. The driver side rear window in my JKU rolls down a little on its own all the time. It's strange because I rarely ever have anyone in the back seat.

Mine does the same thing. I believe the weight of the windows and hitting bumps on the road are letting the windows creep down.

Lol. Would love of they did that. They will give me issues since I had windows tinted. I'm sure warranty won't be honored
