Q: The driver side power window will not roll back up

asked by on November 23, 2016

The window will go down but only come back up about an inch.

My car has 163731 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

The most common cause of the window will not roll up is caused by the window regulator binding up causing the motor to bind. I would recommend having the motor and regulator checked and replace motor and regulator.
