cold weather causing windows not to go back up - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

kidgogeta · 12-21-2012, 03:23 PM

When I went outside this morning the car was covered with ice. So i tried opening the door, the window dropped down. However when I got inside the car and shut the door the window didn't go back up. Also passenger side window doesn't work at all and the auto scroll for driver doesn't work.

cliffs:
-cold weather
-driver window gets stuck on way down, have to roll it up to fix it
-no driver auto scroll
- passenger side window doesn't work either

Thanks to this post, I saved myself $120 at the dealership tonight. They wanted to charge me to diagnose this problem and claim it was caused by my 6.5" speaker baffles hitting the window actuator. In all reality, I it was caused by the cold weather and a recent snow storm. They took care of the invoice for me and sent me on my way.

I made them leave the baffles on, as it didn't sound right went the service writer called me the first time.

Right around 6 inches. The biggest issue now is that snow crews left the snow on the road for too long trying to wait for it to end and it's been compacted to the road and near impossible to remove.

How do you "roll it up"? Do you push it up by hand?

The window still worked when the car was turned on. So I just followed the instructions in the link and everything worked perfect

@firestorm_frs This is common for all cars with frameless windows - just look on the 350z and 370z forums.

The first link to fix the problem are they talking about the driver window, or both buttons told hold?
