Why can't the window glass of Roewe RX5 be raised or lowered?
2 Answers
Roewe RX5 window glass cannot be raised or lowered, which is a failure of the power window. The following are common causes of the failure: 1. The mud slot of the glass is deformed or damaged. 2. The screws fixing the lifter are loose. 3. The window lifter is damaged. 4. There is a deviation in the installation position of the guide rail. The following are general solutions for the window glass lifting failure of Roewe RX5: (1) Turn on the ignition switch, pull the switch up and hold it, continue to pull for more than 3 seconds after the glass rises to the top. (2) Release the switch and immediately press and hold it to lower the glass to the bottom for more than 3 seconds, then repeat the rising action once. The initialization program is completed, and the window lifting function is restored. (3) This method is effective for most models. If the restoration is unsuccessful, it is necessary to go to a regular repair shop for inspection.
I recently had the same frustrating experience with my Roewe RX5's windows suddenly failing to roll up or down. Based on my experience, there are three main causes: first, the switch button may be broken, such as due to aging contacts or water damage; second, the window motor might have failed—once the motor burns out, the glass won't move at all; third, a blown fuse, especially those in the door circuit, which are prone to burning out. I've noticed this issue often correlates with the car's age—older vehicles are more likely to have problems. My advice is to quickly check: press the button to see if the indicator light turns on. If it doesn't, it could be a fuse issue—refer to the manual for its location and replace it. If the light comes on but there's no response, try closing the door and attempting again to rule out door lock linkage issues. Avoid forcing the glass, as getting it stuck could be even more dangerous. If all else fails, visit a 4S shop for professional technician repairs—safety comes first. Regularly cleaning the window tracks during car washes can help prevent minor malfunctions.
