What to Do When the Car Window Won't Close?

Here are the solutions for a car window that won't close: 1. First, check if the window lock is engaged. Once locked, the window cannot be raised or lowered—simply unlock it. 2. Inspect the functionality of all locks, as issues like poor contact can prevent the window from moving. 3. If you hear the sound of the window switch relay, the fuse may be faulty. Replace it with a fuse of the same model promptly. 4. Another possibility is that there is debris stuck between the glass and the rubber seal.
A couple of days ago, I also encountered the issue where the passenger side window got stuck halfway while rolling up, which was absolutely frustrating. Here are the key areas to check: First, try the window switch near the door handle—press it a few times to see if it responds. If there's no reaction at all, it's likely the motor is burnt out or there's a loose connection. If the window can roll down but not up, there's a high chance the plastic clips on the window regulator bracket are broken. Another often-overlooked spot is the door seal, especially after rain when the seal can deform and jam the glass. Once, I temporarily fixed it by spraying WD-40 on the window tracks. If you still can't resolve it, it's best to visit a repair shop. Last time, the mechanic found the window regulator cable was tangled after removing the door panel, and it cost me a little over 300 yuan to fix.
