What are the reasons for the failure of Volkswagen power windows?

The reasons for the failure of Volkswagen power windows are: 1. Damage to the window lift motor or poor contact of the electrical control wiring harness; 2. Motor overheating; 3. Blockage of the guide rail or aging of the rubber seal; 4. Loss of initialization data. The solutions for the failure of Volkswagen power windows are: 1. Visit a 4S store or auto repair shop to replace the window lift motor; 2. Wait for the motor to cool down; 3. Spray some dashboard wax on the window seal or apply talcum powder. Taking the Volkswagen Lavida as an example, its body dimensions are 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. In terms of power, the Volkswagen Lavida is equipped with either a 1.2T or a 1.4T turbocharged engine.
I've encountered the issue of Volkswagen power window failure several times, usually due to several common reasons: poor switch contact is most frequent, where the button doesn't respond often due to wear; blown fuses are also quite common, especially after car washing when water causes short circuits; motor failures such as worn carbon brushes or overheating damage can leave windows stuck in one position; corroded or broken wiring frequently occurs, particularly in older cars with poor door seals allowing water ingress; control module problems are rarer but more troublesome, requiring professional diagnostic equipment. For daily maintenance, I recommend cleaning window tracks and applying lubricant to extend lifespan. If abnormalities are noticed, first check the fuse box and try replacing fuses – don't ignore the issue to prevent water leakage during rainy days.
