Question 1

Window Regulators

Accepted Answer

A window regulator, sometimes known as a window lifter or window mechanism is the mechanical apparatus inside your door that lifts the window when you press a button or in some older cars when you turn the winder. These regulators are quite a common failure in some cars, they can fail due to icing in winter or just through time. The good news is that window regulators are relatively straight forward to replace, in some cases you can replace just the mechanism and in other cases you need the full unit including the motor.

Question 2

Window Regulator Problems

Accepted Answer

Problems with window regulators are common.A broken regulator cable can cause the window to jam or fall inside the door. In colder weather the window can often freeze in the closed position .Then when the window switch is pressed the window can seperate from the regulator and thusly breaking the regulator. In some cases the window can be re-attached to the regulator in others however the regulator must be replaced. The most common problem is general wear on the regulator over time and consistent use or over-use
