The reasons why the Volkswagen Lavida's windows cannot be raised or lowered include: the grounding wire of the combination switch coming loose, a break in the main power supply, poor contact or damage to the contacts of the window relay or damage to the coil, poor contact or failure to connect the safety switch, etc. It is recommended to go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair to determine the specific problem. The Volkswagen Lavida's in-car navigation system adopts a combination of touch screen and knob control operation and has MP3 playback capability, with USB, AUX, and SD card expansion slots, making it easy to use and powerful in function. Its LCD screen adopts a foldable design, and the front face styling is significantly different from previous A-class cars under the Volkswagen brand, especially its teardrop-shaped headlight design, which is very unique.

Last month, my colleague's Lavida's passenger side window also stopped working, and it turned out to be poor contact in the window switch. Window malfunctions are most commonly caused by a few scenarios: either accumulated dust in the window track, or the rubber seal aging and jamming the glass; otherwise, the lift mechanism's steel cable might have rusted and snapped; or the control module inside the door panel could be acting up. If there's no sound from the motor when pressing the button, it's likely a blown fuse or a faulty master switch. Try testing each window individually to determine if it's a single window issue or a problem affecting the entire vehicle.

The rear right window of my 8-year-old Lavida suddenly got stuck last week. Upon removing the door panel, I found the plastic slider of the window regulator completely shattered. This kind of part aging is very common, especially in models exposed to prolonged sunlight. Lack of lubrication on the rails can also make window operation very stiff, accompanied by squeaky noises. If the window drops halfway when rolling up, you might need to check whether the regulator is deformed or if the motor gear is slipping. For DIY repairs, you'll need a T-wrench to remove the door trim, but Volkswagen's clips are notoriously brittle - beginners should probably visit a repair shop for safer handling.

The most frustrating issue I've encountered was power window failure after rain, which was actually caused by water accumulation in the door panel short-circuiting the wiring. The Lavida's window wiring passes through the door hinge, where repeated bending can easily damage the insulation and cause grounding. The testing method is simple: press the window switch and listen closely to the door panel for the relay's click sound. If you hear the sound but the glass doesn't move, it's a mechanical issue; if there's no sound at all, check the electrical circuit. Also inspect the window switch contacts for oxidation - spraying WD-40 on the connectors can sometimes provide an emergency fix.
