Hey folks! This is Jake from Magnatech Auto Glass.

Welcome to another Q&A session where I answer questions from y'all on the internet.

Today's question is:

"What does my car window roll up too slowly?"

Answer

Why does my window roll up super slow like it's dead? So, when you're experiencing the the regulator motor rolling up really slowly, it's generally an indication that that motor for your regulator is going out and it's time to replace it.

Summary

If a window rolls up very slowly, the regulator motor is likely failing and needs replacement (00:21:33). Magnatech Autoglass advised that a technician will generally take more time and may charge more if a customer is closely watching them work, comparing the experience to working in a fishbowl (00:22:45).
