Yesterday after work I got in my car and the driver's window would not go down. This morning it was fine. This afternoon after work it did the same thing again. I park where the hot afternoon sun hits the driver's side. I am thinking the problem is heat related and once it cools off it goes back to normal.

Any opinions? Other than reversing the way I park the car?

Maybe just maybe theres too much heat build up in the switch causing the contacts to bend out to far?

No sound.

I reversed the car and the afternoon sun hit the passenger side and no problem. I guess it is the heat.

I wonder if the heat is causing some contacts somewhere to seperate.

I always figured your future career would surface sooner or later.

i think it probably is heat related.

a couple weeks ago I had to go down to Montgomery, which is a good bit warmer than Birmingham. Anyhow, after coming back out to my car, I did the one-touch window down thing, then started my a/c.

When I tried to get the drivers window to go back up, it wouldn't. I could here something "click", not the button you push, but something near the dash, but it just wouldn't go up, and it was horribly hot inside.

Well by the time I get back into town (1 hour drive) I tried it again, and it rolled up.
