Can I manually move the regulator on my 2012 to move up

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Yep, you can manually move the window regulator, but it depends on whether the cables or mechanism are intact. If the motor is just dead, you can unbolt the glass from the regulator, slide it up by hand, and wedge something in the tracks to hold it—wood shims, suction cups, or even duct tape in a pinch. If the regulator is broken, you might have to remove it entirely and prop the glass up with a temporary brace. Just be careful—glass is heavier than it looks, and if it slips, it’ll drop faster than your phone when you forget it’s in your lap.
