Thanks for sharing. This downgraded my problem from an emergency to an annoyance. Now I can wait until after the holidays to spend $ on repairs.

I am so glad.. This was a life save for me also and spend forever and a day trying to come up with a resolution. You may want to go to a junk yard and find the piece that you need. Having a shop do the repair is quite expensive only because of the labor time but hey.. Diy that also👍

Thank you so much. I didn't have a spatula, so I used two clean paint stirrer sticks. Why clean? Because dried paint on a dirty paint stirrer makes it thicker and more sticky (less slippery). And why two? Because the first one goes in without tape, and makes a little gap between the window and its rubber seal. That makes it easier to get the second one (with tape on it) in. Then you take both stirrers out (leave just the tape) and repeat on the other side.

Thank you, Tee! I used your method to pull my driver's side window up after it dropped to the bottom! Now I can buy some time before replacing the regulator 🙂👍🏾

Excellent work! One thing I learned the hard way about taping a window in place to keep it from falling down is to tape the window to the door on the *sides* or *top* after putting the little "handle" on the top in case it falls down again - preferably with clear tape, as here. If you tape it on the bottom to the door weatherstrip, as I foolishly did, the goo from the tape on the door could make it impossible to pull the window back up without having to take out the inner panel so you can get at it to clean off the goo (which I had to do anyway to fix the problem). Cleaning tape goo can be done with "cooking" oil, no need for harsh, toxic solvents. Oil cleans oil-based stuff, water cleans water-based stuff.

Use painter's tape if you have it.

Thank God you mentioned that, because I was thinking about re-doing my temporary fix. TLDR, I bought a sheet of Acrylic Plastic, trace and cut to shape with a dremel tool, and taped it to the outside of the car door window area, and taped it pretty darn good too. Multiple layers, and over and around the top and side frame of the window to the inside by just an inch so it won't cause a gap in the door when shut. It's 100% stable at 95mph or lower my haven't broken 95 in over a year since the last time I did I nearly died, and it's 100% moisture and air tight. No rain no snow, no foggy window for having a leak during cold seasons, and it keeps the circulating air inside the car, no leaks. BUT... What I wanted to do, was re-tape it to just over the window inside the door, and frame fit it since it's flexible and could fit without removing the door panels. But I would have to create some sort of way to stop that from magically falling into a black hole too, and if I'd just had gone and done it I'd of taped off the window channel, and tape it up from the side and top, inside and out to create the same airtight effect, but yeah I don't wanna completely ruin the inside of the door for when I do go to finally slap it back on track. That's all it is, my motor is fine, works, I can hear it's but that window ain't moving at all. Its sticking out a tiny bit but it won't budge

I had 2 problem windows that were down for years on a box truck. I came across your video (one of hundreds) looking for a solution… OMG! I told my son about your method, we tried it with duct tape, it worked! We were so happy! He said “that lady is a genius” I agree! The crank handle mechanism is stripped, that’s why the windows don’t work. New retro fit handles are on their way! You made us very very happy… saved us a lot of money & time. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ God Bless you!

So I just did this with a Dodge Durango but we needed 3 people because it was dark, and there is an inside lip on both sides of the window. One held a flashlight, one kept the inside lip open with a metal spoon and one did the tape thing. We only could get it up about 2 inches, then held tight while we messed with the master button and key turned just enough to make it work. First we pushed down for a second then up and gradually got it all the way up and while still holding the window, taped all edges inside and outside. It took a lot of muscle and cooperation and positive shouts all the way. ❤ Now we won't be able to open it but winter is coming and rain too so we are thrilled. I also used a bread cutting knife that worked like the spatula, just watch out for the blade. I couldn't be happier because we just spent $1000 on brakes and I had everything we needed already, so this fix was free. I just recommend more than 1 person. Once you get the window part way up, you don't want it to go back down. ❤❤❤

It worked! i stated jumping up and down screaming in the driveway, all i had was gorrila tape and the spatula. I could only get the tape on one side of the window(the inside) it didnt work when i didnt apply prssue to keep the spaulta flush with the window. When i 1. had my brother press "up" on the wondow button 2. kept the gorrila tape flush with the window & 3. pulled with everything in my shondo the window came up!!!! i swear i cried a tear or two of joy. nobody wants plastic on their window if they dont HAVE to have it there. thank you Tee!!!

I like your idea of using a hanger to hook the bottom of the window and then hook it on the door to keep the window up until get the window mechanism fixed because my 2000 Acura TL rear passenger window didn't come up and I took it to a shop and they said the regulator was broken and they couldn't get the new part anywhere. So I just want the window to stay up until I get the mechanism fixed or else just leave the window up for good.

Both windows on my '94 Thunderbird failed at the same time! Go figure. Hey, its 26 years old! Other than that the car continues to run well. Did something similar to your 'fix' but left the tape 'tab' at the top of the windows just in case one or the other decides to fall back down into the door...
