Window problem... stupid Car!

I was driving home from work from the Dallas Fort Worth Airport and I rolled my window down to badge out and the driverside window rolled down fine and before you know it the window won't roll up!! This happen to me a couple of times last week for like a couple of mins and went back up. So I was hoping it will roll up again...so it''s 24 degrees and im freezing my ***** off driving home which takes 30 mins..and it never rolled back up!! im outside trying to fix it.. I've tried putting the key in the door and let it roll up manually but no luck!! anybody ever had this problem? FML my g is pissing me off..

VERY common problem with the G's. Try this, Hold up the window button, but not automatic, and slam the door. Sometimes that works, but you'll have the get a new window motor.

If the window is stuck down you can also try (once you stop) using the key in the door method (put the key in the door, turn and hold in the lock position). For whatever reason that seems to work even if the motor is unresponsive from inside.

Like curry said though, probably gonna need a new motor, or need to at least try and clean the debris from the current one.

You generally don't need new motors, you just need to re-calibrate the current motor. Before you spend lots of money, try this, it's a link to the procedure in a 350Z, but the procedure is identical in our cars. I've used it several times successfully.

DIY window repair

My pass window just stopped working right after I bought the car. Followed the tutorial and cleaned out a ton of buildup inside the motor, works fine now.

So I bought a new window motor at Grubbs infiniti for $210 with my uncles discount..window works fine now.. be sure to cover the window with a terry towel or something if you decided to do it yourself.. I made a little scratch on my 5%
