Temporary Window Fix 

That’s gonna be a permanent fix for me lol.. My window Motor is about $350 and the car is worth $349 lol

Sir thank you so much it is cold as crap where I'm at. Just left church was making a stop at Burger King by myself and my window went down and would not go up. My first reaction was to panic which I did. Then I came. On RU-vid saw this trick. Drove two blocks to my local Dollar Tree and it worked praising God for you making this video. God knows what we need exactly when we need it

Awesome solution!! Rear passenger window motor just broke in my car. Window won't roll up. Can't afford a new motor and labor cost right now, so this will do the job for now. Glad I found your video. Thanks👍🎩👍🤗

Thank you so much. I read that fiat car windows are common for regulators and motors to break 🙄🙄 so here I am trying to find a temporary fix till I get my car fix. You're a life saver! Thank you! Going to Walmart to buy a tape tape now

The problem with this kind of tape is that the adhesive goes soft in the heat. Normal duct tape or gaffer tape has stronger adhesive but it still melts, gives way, and gets super-messy in the heat. For this kind of application I have successfully used Tyvek tape, which is designed to join roofing membranes and survive a couple of months of exposure to sun and rain before the roof tiles go on. I believe it has 'acrylic adhesive', which seems to be much less melty. It is much harder to remove, and can still sometimes leave a residue behind, but that residue is easy to remove with a solvent. Certainly much easier than removing sticky glue residue that has migrated down into the gap between glass and door because the tape has given way and the glass has slipped down! Aluminium duct tape also has the same acrylic adhesive I believe, as it is designed to join (seal) metal ducting which can have hot air in it. But again, it is the type of adhesive that matters, not what the tape is made of.

Thanks for the “temporary” fix!

Exactly what I was looking for thank you!!

I have a 2005 Jeep Liberty and luckily I never had this problem but I will follow this procedure. Thanks

Bro I owe you my life… you don’t know how much you saved me.

thank you! it works for all the skeptics

thank you mister it gets very cold around here and you saved me

Mannnn I tell u, this helped a lot thanks

Pro tip: find a good suction device of any kind, and put it on the bottom of the interior side of the window to prevent it from rolling down. It will work for as long as you need it to. Might just look a little funky.

The best thing I have found so far is some small strong wall mounting hooks from the dollar store placed at the base of the window. Then use E6000 glue to stick to window. It will never move down again

Hubby thinks we have a heavy duty truck the way he slams the car door shut sometimes. Duct tape worked good for me. I live in Florida and the scorching heat will loosen the tape adhesive so I also tape on the outside for extra protection.

I was skeptical but it really works! Bought me some time!

Thank you!

Thanks brother

Thanks 🏆

Thank you so much for this video my window won't stay up I'm getting some tape today

Nice thanks

Thank you

Thanks

oh man, thanks. this is gonna help a lot til i can make time to go to a shop

Thank you for this 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you! I’m dumb idk why I didn’t think I could tape at bottom instead of top . I might to both haha

What kind of tape is used in the video??? It blends with the weatherstripping

Which tape I can use please? My chevy cruze have the issue 🤦‍♂️

I've tried three different brands of packing tape, including heavy duty packing tape. Once the temperature is over 60 degrees and the sun is shining, the tape slips and the window comes down.

My parent needs this so thanks :)

My window regulartor got jammed and tbh e window was stuck down thankfully I was able to get it up with some pliers and I put tape so it should temporarily hold

Will this tape stay on while driving? Exposed to rain, I dont have a garage so my car is always exposed.

My window is half way down and stuck could this also work for me? I have a Tahoe the window can down but it will not let up at all. I really need help. Do not won’t to go to a shop right now.

I tried this and it left the tape residue on the window. It was very messy and extremely frustrating to clean up. Not a good idea to try duct tape in the heat..

what Kind of tape is that?? can I use duct tape? (package tape doesn't work it was all I had yesterday)

I did this, but found it better to tape it on top, because the goo from the tape caused the window to be stuck after repairing it, so I had to clean it off with cooking oil and rubbing alcohol, which was *very* difficult.

What kind of tape is good for this?

So is packing tape too weak?

This will work as long as it's not the heat of the summer. It will fail as it melts the adhesive.

Should I use Electric tape

What kind of tape ?

omg ive been taping it at the top of window.. omg

Conformation !

I can't get the freakin window up. 😭 Something on the regulator has it trapped it seems.

Fuck yes

The rubber has over lap window can’t move

What happens when the glass is all the way down and I can’t grab it?

Does this actually work?

I used like dollar store duct tape, and on a really hot day it melted and slid down. I'll try different tape.

i need a permanent fix other then welding it on the door

cardboard on the side works fine. kept 3 of four from dropping, lol.

It still goes down i can even go thru the car wash 😢😢😢

crackheads love doing the first part for me already in my beat up 2000 civic.

Gorilla glue tape works good.

Ok so who the hell strong enough to pull the window up

THIS WOUNT WORK GLASS IS TO HEAVY FOR TAPE

What type of tape

Sure seems to be electrical tape.

everyone with common sense has tried lifting it like that. this video is a literal waste of time lmao

Okay Whos dad

The whole reason I found this video is to find out what happens when the windows falls all the way in the door, not a tutorial how to use tape. Effen morions.

Worst tip iv’e ever seen, it’s a wonder that holds overnight, the sun, moisture etc, will have you coming out to a car full of rain or all your property in the car missing after the window falls in, use a heavy duty vacuum suction cup and put it in the corner of the window, sure someone can see the suction cup but they still have to break the glass to get in.
