Before power windows, you had to turn a handle to get your window up or down. This was a distraction while driving, did not allow you to access windows you weren’t seated by, and took longer to get your windows open or shut. Power windows have changed that, allowing you to open or close every window in your car with the push of a button. Unfortunately, power windows can experience problems, which then require repair. Here is what you need to know about power window repair.
The most common reason why power window repair is needed is that your power windows are no longer responding when you push the button to raise or lower them. Other reasons why you may need power window repair is because you hear a grinding or squealing sound when you raise or lower the windows. If your windows are not responding or making strange noises, there may be a short in the wiring for the windows or the motor that is responsible for opening or shutting the windows may be going out.
If your windows are making strange noises such as squealing or grinding, when you go to open them, and you fail to have the problem fixed, your windows may stop opening. Squealing or grinding is a warning sign that something is wrong and repairs are needed. If your windows are not opening or shutting, no further damage will occur if you do not have window repair completed.
However, you will be unable to open or shut your windows until you have this service completed. You will need to have the service done before selling your car, as this can lower the value of your car, so it is best to get it done as quickly as possible.
