SOURCE: window off track driver side 1997 sebring

You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. If needed, you can pull back the weather seal (can't reuse it, but it's not that important) and you will be able to access everything inside the door

SOURCE: driver and passenger windows apear to be off tracks

They are definitely either off track, or the window regulators are broken, or some mounting points are broken in the door trim. I am not really familiar with the door trim in Elantras, but the inside door panels will have to be taken off (which is real easy if you know what you're doing on that type of vehicle but manufacturers like to hide screws, bolts and clips which can make it a pain if you don't know exactly what holds the panel in place) and once the panels are off the source of the problem will probably be obvious...

Rear passenger window fell down dodge 1500 2003 can hear the motor I need a regulator

How do you know you need a regulator? Sometimes the window will pull out of the track and fall down in the door. Spread the door slot with a screw driver just enough to see down inside the door Take a bright light and carefully operate the window up and down..CAREFULLY remember if the door is off track, the track still will move up and down and could wedge and break or scratch the glass...if it isn't off the track or is..the inside door cover must be removed..to get at the mechanism...it can be done by a DYS ER but will,take some time and understanding of the system ..then some professional type adhesive to keep on track ..you can find a window place for that... Good luck

The driver's side window on 99 beetle was very slow going up, but now requires alot of manual help. Is it the motor?? Is it hard to fix?

not realy a hard fix to replace the window regulator here is a walk through on what you would be taking on...
ok you should have some hidden screws on the door panel, most of the time you will find then in the door handle, and close to where you grab the door to pull it closed, remove the plugs that hide the screws.
now you will need a tool to pop the plastic push pins that hold the inside door panel in place. sometimes you can get away with using a long flat screw driver, dont be afraid to give them a pull they will come loose, dont pull the panel all the way off ! ! ! you still need to unhook the wires frome the switches in the panel also there is a rod hooked to the hadle that needs to come off, and if the door lock slide is in the panel that has one too. then lift the penal away and up from the door..
vewallha there underneither you will find your window regulator, thats the entire unit, window motor, rails, and cables or plastic track. there will be a plastic liner also when you pull the door panel off. take care when pulling it off and you can stick it back up with the black tar once your done inside. you will want it back up it keeps the dust out of your car....
good luck

VW Beetle the drivers side window goes half way up but stops

sounds like you have a bad regulator. this is caused by the cables in the regulator becomming dry and start to bind up and then break causing the window to free fall down.

Electric window on my 2003 Rendezvous

Patience, patience, all the years I work on cars, I dreaded door panels the most. No two are the same, and I don't know of a manual to walk you through it. If you know someone who either works in a body shop or knows some that does, a talk with them could help you immensly. A door handle remover and several screw drivers and metric sockets are the tools needed. And Patience.
