I removed the power windows in my Chevelle for the same reason Scott mentioned. If you open the door they were fine to roll up, but with the door shut the motors are set to stop way before they compress the rubber glass seals at the top and sides............. (speaking of the built in torque limits of the motors, not the actual height the window goes which is adjustable).
You know how on these older cars with manual window cranks you need to roll the window up into the rubber seal and give it just a little "oommph"..... the electric life units won't do that, as soon as they meet "X" amount of resistance the motors stop. If that was adjustable you could probably solve the issue. I know Scott just opens his door when the window is going all the way up, but to be correct you shouldn't have to do that. Had the same issue with the rear 1/4 windows, as they rub the rubber channel on the top and rear as they go up. If I sprayed Windex on the rubber the windows would go all the way up................ as soon as it dried again they would not go to the top. I removed and sold mine, went back to manual.
