Convertible, rear windows down, how to get them back up
1 Reply
If the rear windows of your 2005 Toyota Solara convertible are stuck down, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot and possibly resolve the issue: 1. Check the window switches: Make sure that the window switches on the driver's side and the individual rear door panels are functioning correctly. Sometimes, faulty switches can prevent the windows from going up or down. Test the switches for both rear windows to see if they respond when pressed. 2. Check the window lock button: Most vehicles have a window lock button, usually located on the driver's side door panel, that can disable the rear window controls. Ensure that the window lock button is not activated. 3. Inspect the fuses: Check the fuse box for any blown fuses related to the power windows. Refer to the owner's manual to locate the appropriate fuse for the rear windows and replace it if necessary. 4. Try manually lifting the window: If the power mechanism is not working, you may be able to manually lift the window. Open the rear door and place your hands on both sides of the window. Gently lift the window while someone else operates the window switch. If the window starts to move, continue assisting it until it fully closes. 5. Listen for any motor noises: When you operate the window switch, listen for any motor noises or clicking sounds coming from the door panel. If you hear the motor working, but the window does not move, it may indicate a mechanical problem with the window regulator or the window itself. 6. Seek professional assistance: If none of the above methods work, it's best to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic or a Toyota dealership. They have the expertise and diagnostic tools to identify the specific issue with the rear windows and can provide appropriate repairs. Please remember that manually lifting the window should only be a temporary solution to get the window closed. Continuing to use the power window system when there's a malfunction could potentially cause further damage. It's best to address the problem as soon as possible with professional assistance.
