Window stuck

[Dacket]

My window regulator broke today(pass side), and the window is stuck down. Is there any way to get the window to stick closed until i can get this fixed? I try to raise it by hand, but it only goes 3 in or so. I would hate to leave my window open all night and day. I live in an apt with no garage.

Wiggle it around gently. It must be hung up on something. Then slip a pack of matches between it and the weather striping to hold it in place.

lol trust me!

tons of different temporary fixes... Wiggle the window back up into place and squeeze in a few folded up pieces of paper, or a few pennys. pretty much anything that will press against the window and door frame to hold it in place

This is how I fixed it.

haha.

I should get around to fixing mine but I dont really care cause I have kids and the window lock dont work so if they press the button nothing happens. Mine will go up with the button but when I try to roll it down the motor just goes down and the window stays up. For some odd reason it dont fall either.

Yeah, i felt the cord all tangled up in the motor. Makes a grinding sound now. All sorts of broken plastic pieces taken out of the bottom of the door.
