Why is my manual car window hard to roll down?
I was driving some friends yesterday and they were having a difficult time rolling down the windows of my car. Since I drive an older vehicle, the passenger windows are manual. Why are my manual car windows hard to roll down?

That must have been frustrating; I’m sorry you had to deal with that!
There are a few reasons why your manual car window isn’t rolling up or down:
- There’s been damage to the window mechanics (i.e. stripped gears in the crank, the regulator is out of lubricating grease, bent regulator, etc.)
- Dirt or debris is stuck in the crank mechanism
- The window mechanism is rusty or has corroded
Depending on the root of the problem, applying some grease to the window of your jammed car window may solve the problem. If not, don’t hesitate to visit an auto mechanic to get their help.
When it comes to weird and unexpected repairs like a stuck car window, it’s a good idea to have an insurance policy that meets your needs. Whether you’re on the market for insurance or are trying to cut costs across the board, meet
