A window that grinds and drops into the door has a broken regulator cable. A door that won't lock or unlock with the others has a failed lock actuator. Both mean pulling the door panel, which is an interior job we do anywhere, rain or shine.

- Window won't go up or down
- Grinding or clicking from inside the door
- Window falls into the door
- One door won't lock or unlock with the fob

Call us. We can often come the same day and at minimum get the glass up and secured so the interior stays dry.
