Cannot close back side windows, no manual in van . i have tried everything and cannot figure it out. the middle window closure is curved and had no problem closing them. bought van with back windows open already...the closure clip is not like the other ones. how do i get them shut? thank you

If you can hear the motor when you try to operate the window then it'll be a problem with your window regulator (the mechanism that moves the window up an down), if you can't hear the motor then It's more likely to be a fault with the motor as you said it wouldn't work with the central locking. This means your car has a total closure system, ie you press a button and all windows and sunroof close. These systems are usually seperate wiring from the switched circuit used to operate the windows from inside the car, so, if the windows don't work on either circuit then the one thing they do have in common is the motor.

Slim jim won't reach it because of how it has to be curved to get to the latch. You have to pry out the top of the jam/window. Then reach down with a close hanger to unlock the door. Don't push against the top as it will bend. Pull the window/frame out. It will bow out some. Put your knee in the middle of the door and pull the window/frame back into place.

do your doors lock when you put the van in gear , that is what happened ,when you tried to close the door it released , and now you can open the door,.

the arm that holds the window open has a pivot in the middle of the arm.if you push in this area of the arm in the direction of the bend it will collapse on itself(fold)and you can close the window.then push the lock part of the latch down on itself to lock.

they make a metal lever type thing to shut your sun roof manually you can pry buy one online or from a Hyundai dealer, the passenger window pry needs a new motor or track

HAVEK 1005 sounds right on track.... but also try this, usually works well for non functional power windows, specially Caravans.

NO COST PROCEDURE TO FIX IT:

1. Sit in vehicle, on seat next to problematic window
2. Ignition key is on
3. Door in question is opened (in case you closed it)
4. While door is open, press and hold power window button in desired window travel, keep button pressed !!
5. SLAM hard the door closed with one hand while other hand holds button as per #4.
6. Watch window operate as it should.
7. Repeat 3-6 if necessary, but usually the first try works!

NOW, for the naysayers that says you must replace power window motors etc, at $$$ cost because the above fix does not work, or is not long lasting fix, or less than a "professional fix".... Well then, when the window fails to operate again, apply same fix again at that time.

I have fixed my van this way numerous times (usually once a year), and to all local friends I recommend this fix too, likewise do the same and are happy with the solution.

Try closing the windows, the AC on some Mercedes require all windows to be closed for the side vents to work.

Hi.
Sounds like the "anti-pinch" mechanism is coming into action on the drivers side.
If the window encounters any resistance when closing it will stop.
Check the window seal for damage and correct fitment, make sure there is nothing obstructing the glass. If you are OK with the seal and channels at either side and the window is going up an down "square", try some lubricant in the channels either side with the window in the down position and operate a few times.

Passenger side. The motor for the window must have been disconnected from battery voltage at some time and it has lost its reference points. That is, where to start and stop.
Nudge the window near to the top, but not closed, then close the window holding the switch down for at least 5 seconds. Then open the window and hold the switch down as before.
You may have to do this more than once.

There should be a section in your owners manual covering this procedure.

I don't think the two problems are connected physically.

If they are electric the switches are over the rearview mirror

Hi
it happen with me also actually the problem is the power window get jammed from the inner part..... you if you able to open it just open now clean it well then spray the lube into it and for a long time it work properly..... thankyou
