Electric car window won stay up, how to fix?
I have a 99 Pontiac Grand Prix and a year or so ago, all the windows started failing like this. So far we’ve fixed all of them except the driver’s window. Anyway, We got two of them fixed by going to a junkyard and buying the part there. Some sort of failure of the lifting mechanism; I don’t know the details, because another member of my family was driving the car at that point. Evidently the guys at the scrapyard installed it too; a lot cheaper than the dealer/auto shop, and they’ve worked fine since then. If you just want to get it stuck up, I’d suggest looking around online for any kind of schematic or manual dealing with your specific car’s window mechanism. When the third window failed, it was going to be more expensive than the others for whatever reason, so a friend of mine volunteered to open up the door and fix the window mechanism in the up position using (IIRC) some wire he had around his garage. You could easily do the same yourself, probably, with some research beforehand.
