Re-calibrating auto window

So, some ass-wipe broke into my car, smashed the passenger window. I had the window replaced but now the auto up feature won't work, it goes up, then goes back down halfway. The window will close, but I gotta just use the normal peasant way and hold the switch. There must be a way to re-calibrate it right? All of the re-calibrating methods I've seen and tried have been either general toyota one's or for a different year 4Runner.
I've taken off my rain guards and tried to re-calibrate it, and I've searched for old pieces of glass stuck up in the window.
Please help, I can live with it, but it's rather annoying.

Did the installer remove the window motor from the regulator? You sometimes have to "re time" the motor when regulators are removed/replaced,did it a lot while working at Lexus. It requires removing the motor from the regulator,letting the window motor cycle 6-8 revolutions,then reinstalling everything.

This! I had my passenger window smashed in too. I swapped the window myself but didn't run into this issue as I didn't remove the motor from the regulator. However my wives Forester window got smashed and I had to do this when I replaced it due to disconnecting the motor and regulator
