Description of the problem	The front windows detach and drop down inside the door during cold weather, even when the window has not been operated. This has caused a loss of visibility as well as a loss of protection during a blizzard, and again during a torrential rain storm while driving. I have reattached the windows multiple times and have continued to have this failure of the clamps that holds them in place. This has happened both at low speeds and at highway speeds. The issue continues to be a hazardous problem. In looking online for how to fix the problem, i have read that this is very common in these cars and has been a very dangerous condition for many drivers.
