  • The window moves too slowly;
  • There is a squealing, squeaking or grinding sound when you operate the window;

Power Window Repair Process

When you bring your vehicle to the shop, Adam will need to inspect the broken or malfunctioning electric windows.

  • Power window switch repair or replacement;
  • Diagnosing and repairing any faulty wiring;
  • Power window regulator replacement;
  • Cleaning and replacing electric window controllers and relays;
  • Power window motor repair or replacement;

Once a diagnostic check is completed and the issues have been identified, Adam will provide a quote for the repairs to get your faulty electric car window fixed and operating correctly again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I fix my car’s broken power window myself?

Q: What causes a vehicle’s power window to stop working?

A: Electric window malfunctions are usually caused by a faulty window regulator or window track, a broken motor, broken cable pulley or faulty window switch. On occasion, it can be a combination of these factors that result in a failing power window.
