Vehicle will need window regulators. They are available at substantial savings after market.

Car window wont go all the way up

it sounds like the windows runners inside the door have either snapped off from the retaining brackets or they have just come loose. remove the door panel and check the runners are tight against the glass as the window goes down, look for the runner brackets to check they are still connected to the door, if they arnt then they need to be replaced. If all intact, then its just a case of adjusting them to hold the glass in place at the bottom when the window is open and also as it is wound up to the top, do this slowly so you can see where the glass is slipping out of the runners. Also check that the sliders and fixings on the winder mechanism on the bottom of the window are not broken or disconnected (the bit that pushes it up and down) as this is also sometimes a problem. Replace or repair.

MY DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDOW FALLS DOWN WHY ?

The windows has came out of the window track. You will need to remove the door panel to seat back in the track and purchase an adhesive to apply to the window and brackets so it will not come out again.

While my driver's side window (2004 Honda Civic) was rolled down at a drivethru, I heard it fall and now it won't roll back up. I can hear the motor trying to roll it up when I press the button, so I...

it must have fallen off its track. you would have to pull the door panel off (usually two-three screws/bolts and about twelve little plastic tabs that break really easy so be gentle.) and carefully place the window back up on its track. be sure its not too far back or too far forward when you tighten it into place or it wont slide properly. be sure not to have you fingers in the way when you test it to be sure it tracks properly before closing everything back up. also be sure not to over tighten the holding brackets (especially in the cold) or you could crack the window.hope this helps

Rear wheel wobbles can't drive

That would be the rear control arm. You can provide a temporary fix using a 1 foot piece of 1" square steel tubing and 2 u-bolt brackets that fit over the broken arm (at any hardware store). Center the piece of tubing on the break inside the U of the control arm. Fasten the U bolt brackets 2" in from the ends of the square tube. This will last quite some time so you can get it replaced at a later date.

Can't remove pads

I used a screwdriver and hammer to break loose the pads from the bracket they slide onto. Must have been subjected to a lot of heat. Seemed like the pads were almost welded to the brackets. As for the rotor, once you remove the caliper, you have to remove the bracket that holds the caliper. There are two bolts on the back side that secure it. Takes a strong arm and a cheater pipe for more leverage. After this bracket is removed the rotor will slide off.

Driver side door window slowly fell down into the door of my 1997 dodge dakota. The glass did not break.

Power or crank? Either case the rails that hold the window on probably broke. there are slides inside the door that keep the window in place, if a slide broke, or if one of the brackets broke, the window will come down. I cant really recomend doing this yourself as ive had the same issue on other vehicles and pulling apart the door and messing with the slides and stuff in there is a real pain. Hopefully it only fell off the track and you can put it back in place. If not, if your not very handly i would suggest taking to someone.
