So Your Car Window Is Stuck: Don't Panic!

What do you do when your power window dies with the window in the down position? What if you don't have the money to get it fixed by a mechanic? You obviously can't leave the window down and risk getting rained on or robbed. When you're on a budget—or you just shelled out big bucks recently for some other breakdown and repair—it might not even be possible to have the repair done right away. This quick fix will help you buy some time until you have the resources to take the car to a mechanic or find a replacement part to fix it yourself.

The three metal screws are located under plastic covers, one behind the door handle, one at the bottom of the door console grip, and one behind the courtesy light cover at the bottom right. Remove the plastic covers and take out all five screws. Next, lift the door console up and out of the panel.

Pry it up using a flat screwdriver at the back, and then push the entire console towards the back. Under the console, disconnect the two plastic wire connectors.
