Why do car windows fall down?

With age, the window regulators that hold your window in place can fail, causing your window to fall down into the door of the vehicle. You must then remove the door’s interior trim to gain access to the window and repair or replace the regulator.

What causes a car window to not go down?

If your windows won’t go down, start by checking the master switch and window motor wiring. However, it can sometimes be caused by a broken sash clip or binding in the window track that’s causing a mechanical issue rather than an electrical problem.

Why does my power window not move up or down?
