No matter what kind of car you drive, one of your power windows could fail to roll up at an incredibly inconvenient time. Even though you can't control when something like this happens, you can apply a remedy that will get you by until you have time to visit the auto shop.
Open the car door that contains the broken window.
Remove the screws that are located behind the interior door handle.
Remove any other screws that are located on the door panel. If you can't find any other screws, the door panel is held onto the door with small plastic tabs that are placed every 4-6 inches around the outside of the door panel. You can remove these by gently prying a flat-head screwdriver between the door panel and door.
Remove the detached door panel carefully, and don't forget to disconnect the wires on the back of the door panel.
Remove the sheet of insulating plastic from the door frame.
Locate the window motor inside the door frame. These motors are usually connected to a rail that is mounted vertically inside the frame. The motor has a metal casing with wires connected to it on the bottom. On the top of the metal casing, there is a round-shaped plastic casing that contains the gears that drive the window up and down.
Locate the turning bolt on the window motor gear casing. This bolt is located directly in the center of the gear casing.
Crank the window up until it closes. Use either an alan wrench or a torx wrench to crank the motor. Be sure to find the right size wrench for the bolt.
Tape the top of the window to the top frame of the door after it is closed. This ensures that the window does not slide down when the car travels over bumps in the road.
Reinstall the door panel by following steps 1 through 5 in reverse order.
