Auto window won't quit trying to auto down

[Suzam]

Daughter's 99 OBW was hit in the driver's side mirror knocking it off so it dangles by it's wires. It was a fairly good blow from a commercial truck moving about 25 MPH. It only hit the mirror, never touched the car itself.

 

Now when she lowers the window via the auto down it hits the bottom and stops moving but the motor keeps trying to lower until (and I guessing) a thermal switch stops powering it. Maybe 10 seconds later the window moves slightly when it powers on again to keep lowering the already lowered window, then shuts off again.

 

While shut off you can't even raise it so I know the motor has shut down, but when it tries to lower on the next cycle you can raise it and as long as it's not lowered all the way it acts normal (as in it stops and stays anywhere you want it to).

 

I'm thinking the shock has messed with the switch panel somehow but the switch isn't what stops the motor itself. But maybe thinks the button is always down when you auto it? The car is with my daughter now but tomorrow I'll be seeing her I want to find out it it can be lower without using the auto feature to the very bottom and behaves correctly.

 

An insurance guy is going to look at it next week and I want to make sure that he know that this is part of the accident when he cuts the check.

 

Thoughts?

Check is there is excess movement of the glass. It may have come off the tracks. I'd pull the door card and check it.
