My window was acting up for a long time. It finally gave up on me two days ago and got stuck in the down position and won't come up no matter what I do. I took the door panel apart to see what what I can do to push it up but no luck.

I understand I most likely need a new motor which I'm OK buying online but that will take at least a week to arrive and with snow, I can't quite drive with the window open all the way.

How can I force the window to close manually?
Thanks!

 

try this...

with your door open...
close the door while holding the switch to up...

works with me... up or down... haha...

Wow dude! You just saved me so much hassle. My motor died on my pass side when my window was down Sat. night. Cant get a replacement motor til Wed, and its supposed to rain the next 2 days.

Thank God that worked!!!

 

OMG dude wtf? it solved my problem as well! Please run for president.

 

^Lol. It been discussed previously for years. Anyway, take it as a sign that the window motors going out soon.

 

man you saved my life today...i think its the heat thats making everyones window motors go out

 

Have the problem, it got to the point that slapping the door don't even work lol. I don't know what the deal is with these window motors, seems like everyone's got problems with them.

 

jLo, try pushing down on the window itself, and flippin the switch... (instead of the open close trick) LOL I had to try when I encountered all these F'n prollllems!.. hahahha

I have all them replaced and it all works.. YES!!

 

I hate to say it but welcome to the club i currently have one on order for my driver side for 205 dollars. But on top of that my passenger just went out. I went a couple places and had to order it cause i think people hate selling it cause this is my 5 warranty replacement. But the good news is I can swap it out in less than 15 mins now.
