Rear Window won't roll all the way up
I rolled my back window down the other day and when rolling it up, I noticed it was slower than I've ever seen it. When it got about 3/4 the way up, it stopped. If I try to raise it any more, it goes back down to about half way. Does anyone have any information or experience on this issue?
I have searched a bit and found threads about completely non-functioning windows, but nothing that seems to match my issue. I saw one suggestion to lubricate the tracks, which I will try, but I don't have high hopes. |
Is the window binding on the rubber seal, the one around the sides and top? That comes out fairly easily. I removed and replaced mine with a new one in about 15 minutes, no sealer/glue, per the parts department. You might try removing it and see if that helps. At least check the rubber as you raise the window, maybe push on the edges and see if the window goes up further.
There are several things that could be the problem; motor dragging, poor ground, poor power connection, binding in the channel, etc. |
lubing the tracks helps, when i replaced my motor was hard going all the way up the first couple times, so i lubbed the track and up and down a couple times and haven't had issues since.

Toyota window and regulator are super easy to maintain. There are no rivets and there is plenty of room inside door.

You'll have to take the cover off to see what is going on. Probably corrosion or lack of lube. Don't force it or you may blow the cables off.

I looked for a video but couldn't find a decent one. This one will show you how to access the area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moJ2Qg24mDo |

I have not had to get into that area but my latch is acting up, locking when I open the door. I have to get something to pry the latch open again so I can close it. I don't know if it's the mechanism or the power line that feeds it but something is causing it to close the latch as soon as it's opened. To get to everything you'll have to removed the gray plastic that covers that hatch, then you peel back that craft paper cover. Usually the sticky stuff will let you reseal after you've fixed it, just push it back in place. I would just leave it alone until warmer weather. You can probably push up on the window while turning the key to the right and help it go up to the top. Back in the 50-70s the station wagons had roll up windows. Some were electric, some were crank up. None made a good seal. The exhaust pipes would end at or behind the back tire(s) so the exhaust didn't come into the cabin. Seemed like a good idea. :) Good luck. Post again when you've made progress |

When I press the latch release it opens and then the motor runs again like I closed the hatch and the latch locks. I have to get something, usually a screwdriver, and pry on the latch while pressing the latch open button. It doesn't sound mechanical. It sounds like the sensor thinks I've closed the door, so it latches. I'm thinking it's more electrical but I'm open to suggestions and opinions. :) I'm traveling right now so I'm not going to mess with it for fear that it will seize with all my fishing and kayak gear in the cargo area. |

i had this issue a while ago, it ended up being the rubber seal rubbing on the window

I can't say if that actually FIXES the problem for good, but for the season, I need it closed. So, it effectively solves my problem. I'm going to take the win. |
