How to Wind Up a Car Door Window
Most modern cars have power windows that can be rolled up and down using an electric switch or button. Most older cars have knobs and handles that must be manually turned to wind a car door window up and down.
- Locate the handle that winds of the window. The handle should be located on
the inside of the car door about midways down on the door. It will look like a
handle with a small knob attached to it. - Grip the handle with your hand. If your right hand is near to it, use your
right hand. If you left hand is closer to the handle, use your left hand to grip it. This will make the winding up the window easier. - Use your hand and arm to turn the handle in a clockwise direction. Watch as
the window begins to roll up. Continue to turn the handle until it becomes
resistant. When the window has gone up into the door as far as it can, the
window handle will no longer turn. Do not force the handle to turn as this may
break the window or handle. - When you want to roll the window back down, grip the window handles and
turn it in a counter-clockwise direction. The window will begin to go down into
the door panel. Continue to turn the handle until the window has went completely
down into the door panel or until it is as far down as you desire. Some windows will not wind all the way down
into the door panel.
