You saved me this morning! I couldn’t fix it like you did with the cable. I had to jam the window in tight. Best I could do in a tight. This 65 year old woman thanks you very much!
Great tips about using a wire tightened with a nut and bolt to hold the window up whether it's an existing nut and bolt or put one through an empty hole. I did it with a string yesterday and not I'm going to buy some wire to do it.
Just did this hack on my neighbors buick lacerne whose window just fell down and cable was jumbled. Cut cable and had to pull it several times from both ends to get desired tension but now its staying put. I used a countersunk finish washer to give more anchoring surface and it crushed around cable nicely, used thread lock as well. THANKS!
Was excited for this and went through the process, but mine's not working the same. When I put the cable through the regulator and pull on the cable, it pulls my window DOWN, not up. Am I missing a step, or are the '04 Grand Prix built differently? If anyone has any help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks
Would this work on a Chevy impala 2010? I just want to make sure I’m not getting screwed over by someone’s estimate. They also told me there was no way to keep it up permanently except tape or fix regulator.
All regulators work the same. Another easy way yo do it is to take the door panel out, push up the window and then put a piece of wood whatever size needed to hold the window.
