What are the reasons for the Volkswagen Polo window not being able to go up and down?
2 Answers
Introduction to the reasons why the Volkswagen Polo window cannot go up and down: Loose screws on the window regulator: In this case, the window will vibrate and make abnormal noises. Window regulator stuck: All window regulators will not work. Long-term use of the vehicle: Due to reasons such as rubber aging and dust accumulation in the rubber guide channel of the window glass, the window glass often rises slowly or stops at a certain position. Some window glasses will tilt to one side when rising, making it difficult to rise, etc. Incorrect operation of the window switch in daily use: The correct way to use the window switch is: when lifting, lift the switch all the way, and when lowering, press it all the way. Avoid operating the switch bit by bit, as the contacts will instantly bear a strong current, leading to burning out the switch.
As a long-time Polo owner, I've encountered window lift failures several times. The most common issue is a blown fuse, which is easy to check and replace in the fuse box. Wiring problems are also frequent, such as short circuits caused by moisture seeping into connectors during rainy seasons, or power interruptions due to poor contact from aged wiring. Switch failures shouldn't be overlooked either - worn buttons or oxidized contacts can prevent signal transmission. Motor issues are another concern; when the motor ages or burns out from overheating, it becomes completely inoperable. Windows getting stuck in the tracks is also common, where accumulated dust or foreign objects can jam the glass. Start by checking fuses and switches. For mechanical issues, it's best to visit a professional shop rather than forcing it yourself to avoid further damage. Regularly cleaning window tracks during car washes can prevent many of these problems.
