Angry How to manually close power windows?

Well the driver side window in my '99 TA will not go up. I replaced the switch, but that didn't solve it. I don't think it's the motor because it wasn't acting like it was starting to go. Went up & down fine then later last night when I got home & went to put it up it went up a little & just stopped & won't move now.

Is there a way to get the window up?

Take the door panel off, un bolt it from the arms and tape it up....thats the only way unless you get the motor working.

actually if you sit and wait for a little bit then try it again with the key turn on the in will go up a little more and just keep doing that untill you get it up then i highly suggest you go get another window motor and replace your old one

No, it will not move at all. It's been 2 days now.
Like I said, it does not seem like it is the window motor.

they're like $40 at autozone. even if it's not the window motor, now you have a motor that's actually superior in design to the stocker. the $40 autozone ones i've heard work better and are faster than the GM ones

They're $55 at autozone and they do perform much better/faster than the stockers, plus have a lifetime warranty so you'll never have to buy another one....until the other side dies. But after that you'll never have to buy one again.
