Window Regulator

Most are cable or scissor types driven by an electric motor. Many cars have one-touch and anti-trap functions. The window may need initialising after battery disconnection. Anti-trap protection reverses the window if it detects resistance, such as a hand, while closing automatically. It needs the correct end positions to work.

The motor winds a cable or moves arms to lift the glass in its guides.

Clicks, slow movement or a window that drops point to a broken cable or clip. Do not force a frozen window.
