I think this has been covered in previous posts, but cannot find one right now to link through for you.

BUT

Try running the engine, and fully lowering each window (with the doors shut) and then lifting and releasing the "window up" button so the glass goes up on it's own, until it reaches the top. Hopefully it will be closed properly?

As said, use the switch to fully open and close the window to see if it fixes itself. If it doesn't try disconnecting / reconnecting the battery to reset the control module.

The frameless windows are a pain in freezing conditions as the window can stick and not drop as it should or go back up when the door is closed. What I do is make sure the window seals are defrosted before unlocking the car.
