What are the reasons why car windows cannot be raised or lowered?
1 Answers
There are several reasons why car windows cannot be raised or lowered: 1. Aging, dirty, or deformed glass sealing strips (including inner strips): These create resistance when raising or lowering the window. If they are aged or deformed, replace them with new sealing strips. If they are dirty, spray some dashboard wax or apply talcum powder to the sealing strips. 2. Dirty window lift rails: Cleaning the window lift rails and applying grease can resolve the issue. 3. Low battery voltage: Raising or lowering the window when the engine is off consumes battery power. If the battery voltage is too low, it may become difficult to operate the window. 4. Motor failure: If the window is difficult to operate despite sufficient power and no resistance, the motor may be faulty. 5. Window regulator failure: Issues such as faulty lift rails, broken cables, or slider malfunctions require replacing the window regulator. 6. Improper glass sealing strips: If the sealing strips are not suitable, you can adjust their shape using DIY tools like scissors or a knife.
