Q: Windows get off track

asked by on

The power windows on the driver and passenger doors gets off track when rolling them down.

Hello. For a proper diagnosis, the door panel on the front door will have to be removed. With the door panels removed, the regulator and track will be visible, allowing the mechanic to see what’s worn. You may need the aid of a mechanic to inspect your car’s windows to get your problem fixed.
