What to Do When the Car Window Glass Won't Move Up or Down?
2 Answers
Methods to address a car window glass that won't move up or down include: 1. Check if the window control switch is damaged; 2. Remove and clean the window channel or rubber seal, then lubricate it; 3. Replace the window channel with a new one. Reasons why the car window glass won't move up or down: 1. The window control switch is damaged; 2. There are foreign objects, deformation, or damage in the window channel or rubber seal; 3. Loose screws on the window regulator; 4. The window regulator is damaged; 5. Misalignment in the guide rail installation position. Maintenance methods for car window glass movement: 1. Keep the window clean regularly; 2. If the lubricant in the regulator is depleted, remove the inner cover and add oil; 3. Spray oil on the window gears and apply maintenance agent to the rubber.
That time my car window got stuck, I recalled my past experience: start with simple checks, like testing if the door-side switch responds or pressing the main control panel to see. If other windows still work, it might be a single window switch failure; if none work, check the fuse box—find the corresponding position in the manual and try replacing the fuse. I often use lubricant spray along the window tracks, as sand blockage is a common cause. If the motor makes no sound, it’s likely a window regulator issue—don’t force the glass to avoid further damage. By the way, when washing the car, clean the window gaps to prevent dust buildup. Regular application of silicone-based grease can significantly reduce sticking—just spend some time on maintenance to avoid emergencies.
