How to fix a car window off track (fix car window repair)
Step 1Remove screws and bolts along the interior of the car door. Before fixing the window, you’ll need to get access to the inside of the car door. For smaller problems like an off track window, you can do this by removing the interior car door panel, the plastic cover concealing the car’s window mechanisms.
Step 2
Remove the crank handle, control switch, and other accessories if necessary. Depending on the make and model of your car, you may also need to remove a crank handle, window control switch, or any number of accessories including cupholders, arm rests, luggage bins, and door handles.
Step 3
Pop the door panel off using a thin, sturdy tool. With all the trims and fastenings removed, place a small, strong tool under the edges of the door. Press down on the tool gently to pop the door panel out. You may need to do this in multiple spots around the panel to fully remove it.
Step 4
Remove coverings and unplug any wires connected to the door panel. If your car has any, pull back insulation or vapor barriers covering the inside of the door. Then, unplug any wiring keeping the panel fixed to the car. When you’re finished, remove the door panel and put it to the side.
Step 5
Examine the window track for wear. In some cases, an off track window may be caused by a broken or worn out track.
Step 6
Add adhesive if your window track is dry or rough. If your window track uses glue to hold the glass in place, touch it to make sure it is still sticky. If the window track is dry, rough, or cracked, squeeze a layer of Automotive Goop or similar automotive adhesive into it.
Step 7
Inspect the electric window motor with a voltmeter. Over time, a bad window motor can cause the glass pane to stop moving, making it appear off track or causing it to fall out of alignment.
Step 8
Check for bad wire connections. In some cases, a stuck or off-track window may have been caused by a loose or faulty wire.
Step 9
Drop the window glass to the bottom of the window channel. Since you will be realigning the glass, move it to the bottom of the frame that lines the inside of the car door, better known as the window channel.
Step 10
Move the glass onto the window track. Move your window glass until it is lined up on the window track again. Look for areas where the track is pinched, pressed down, or blocked and adjust the window accordingly. When you’re finished, your window should sit entirely within the track. Window tracks are not uniform, so consult your owner’s manual for model specific instructions.
Step 11
Connect your glass to the window lift if necessary. Realigning your glass to fit the track may throw other parts of the window off, in particular the motor and other elements of the window regulator mechanism.
Step 12
Cover your rollers and tracks with lubricant. Over time, your rollers and tracks will dry out, making it harder for them to raise and lower the window.
Step 13
Test to make sure the window works. If possible, reattach just the crank handle or control switch and use them to test the repair. For some cars, you may need to reattach the entire door panel before testing.
Step 14
Reattach the door panel. When you’re finished checking and realigning your window, replace the door panel and everything you removed. Start by plugging in any wires your disconnected and replacing any protective covers. Then, slip your panel back in place followed by any accessories your removed. Finally, secure everything with the screws and bolts you took out.
