Rear window keeps dropping on a 2001 Olsmobile Aurora

Replace what ever is broken

Most likely the window regulator

There is a control module in each door with connectors. I have already had one where the wiring in the connector was bad. This takes some troubleshooting, but sometimes moving things around while trying to run the windows will should you where the loose connection is.

If you can hear the motor running while pressing the window switch you may have a broken clip or something in the way causing the window to slip off track. If no sound comes while pressing the window button you may need a power window regulator motor "OR" the window button itself may need replacing. If the window was down when it stopped working and had to be manually rolled back up, this can cause the glass to randomly fall back inside the door. This is because the car thinks that the window is still down and will continue to fall until it tells the computer that the window was closed using the power window button. If the window falls at just the wrong angle you could end up having to replace the glass as well.

the rear windows on the aurora move on the guides using cables and they jam up in the runners to fix this yuo will need to replace the window regulator.

does this help

it will cost more than it is worth to fix it, trade it in on something and stay away from air suspension cars

Replace your window regulator..part is like $40 on ebay. Have an experienced person do this!!

if the window is off track the regulator is probably bad. to remove the door panel should be a couple of screws by the inside pull handle and possibly one by the door handle itself also check the bottom of the door for any then just pull it off and lift up to clear latches and remove plastic film to get to inside of the door

You might want to take it to a glass shop. You have to take off the inside door panel and find all the screws to do this. Then if it is the drivers door you have to remove any electric switches to remove this panel. Then remove old regulator from motor and put in the new parts. I usually use a piece of wood and a clamp to keep the glass from falling. A glass shop can do it within an hour and you don't have to chase parts.

the problems is most likely right on the switch i had the same problem with my 97 i went to the wrecker bought all the swiches and the door lights from a wreck the swiches failing is common along with the door lights falling apart at cold temps. hope this helps
