What to Do When the Car Door Window Won't Roll Down?
1 Answers
When the electric window switch does not operate smoothly and the window won't roll down, it may be due to insufficient lubrication inside the door's window regulator. Check the lubrication level inside the door's window regulator, and if it's insufficient, remove the inner cover and add lubricant. The window seals are constantly exposed to windblown sand and rain, which can cause the rubber seals to age over time. When dirt accumulates inside, it can hinder the window's ability to roll up or down smoothly. Sometimes, you might hear a squeaking sound when operating the window. In such cases, use a cloth to clean the dirt inside the rubber seals and maintain a clean environment. More details are as follows: 1. The window glass guide rails are too dirty. This is also a lubrication issue. Cleaning the window glass guide rails and applying grease can resolve the problem. 2. During rain or snow, harsh weather conditions can cause sand and debris to blow into the window glass slots. After such weather, use a vacuum cleaner to clean the window tracks and rinse them during car washing. 3. If the accumulated sand and debris in the window tracks are not cleaned promptly, over time, it will increase the friction between the window glass and the tracks, affecting the window's normal operation. Additionally, small stones can cause scratches on the window glass. 4. Remember to close the windows on rainy days to prevent rainwater from entering the car and wetting the electric window switches, which could lead to a short circuit. Otherwise, you may need to take the car to a 4S shop for repairs, which can be quite troublesome.
