Re: Tips for mechanically lowering window?

If it works intermittently, it very well could be the wires going from the
door to the body of the car have been crimped and are coming apart.  That
was the case on the driver's side of mine.  The wires are inside that little
black boot in-between the door and the car.  you may need to solder them
back together
