Absolutely, In high heat it is best to leave your windows open just slightly to relieve the heat a little bit. I know a friend that that had his back window literally shatter because of the heat just last summer.

How do you repair a passenger window that will not roll up on a 1988 Buick LeSabre?

Hey Steve= the most common problem is for a roller in the linkage to break. It is a big job and someone who knowa how, to repair it. Call your local auto trim shop. GoodluckJoe I had a rear window that did this. I removed the window motor. Now it's a manual window; I have to use my hands to pull it down and lift it up. I don't have to worry about locking my keys in my car although it will set off the car alarm if you roll it down with the car locked; you have to put your key in the ignition to stop the alarm. Of well.

How do you fix a stuck car window?

if the motor in the door isn't working try a rubber hammer at the bottom of the door where the motor is located, some times a jolt will get it working, if that don't do it check for power , if there is power then you will have to replace the motor. A lot of the time it is not the motor / window regulator itself but the little plastic regulator guide clips that break. I'd check this first because they are like $6 compared to over $100 for the full regulator motor. It is hard to find them for sale individually so I included some sources in the related links.

If i throw a button at a car window will it break?

Will the button break? Or will the window break?It depends at the speed of the car and the material of the button. A small metal object hitting a car windscreen at high speed can break the window.A plastic button hitting the window of a stationary car will probably not do much harm, but a plactic button hitting the car window of a moving vehicle may do a lot of harm, not necessarily by breaking the window but by distracting the driver, which in turn may cause a fatal accident.Suggestion: Don't do it!
