Window lifters are responsible for opening and closing windows of the vehicle. The elements of the mechanism do not have a specified service life.
What you should know about replacing window lifters
- A failure is indicated by the absence of the component's reaction to actuation. In addition, windows may open or close with jerks, or too slowly. Sometimes this is accompanied by a grinding noise.
- To have new components installed, it is better to contact specialists. You may need to remove the door trim and disconnect the contacts of the electric motor. The work is quite labour-consuming. In the end, the specialist will check the operability of the system, and adjust the position of the windows.
- In some cases, it is possible to install only the element that has failed, for example, a button. You can inexpensively buy it separately, and install it yourself. You can buy window lifter assemblies or their separate components in our online shop.
- Careful use may help avoid accelerated wear of the system components. For instance, it is recommended to press the buttons gently and protect them from moisture and dirt.
