The night of 8/04/23 both my driver’s side windows and my back passenger side windows all at once stopped operating with their buttons and began to slip down during my drive. The next morning I took the car in to Seigen Car Care and they told me it would be close to $1000.00 to fix all three and the best thing to do for now until they could see about ordering the part they needed to replace would be to use masking tape to hold them up. I don’t remember exactly what they told me they needed to replace but I believe it was the regulator. As you can see in the photos, I still haven’t had it fixed because even with 2 jobs I still don’t have the money or time to go without my car to get even one window fixed at a time. And of course I’ve been unable to use my windows so any drive thru line or ATM machine etc that requires rolling it down I’ve had to open my door instead. To sum, yes a pain in the ass.
