If the window in your KIA Sportage has become stuck in a stationary position, it is most likely due to the window coming off the window regulator. In order to solve this problem you need to remove the window and place it back on the regulator correctly. Carrying out this work is a rather easy task and can be completed in less than half an hour. You can find the tools you need for the task at your local auto store.
Instructions
- 1
Open up the door of your Sportage which contains the stuck window. Remove the screws on the inner door panel using the Phillips screwdriver. Lift the panel away from the door and move to one side.
2Remove the two screws which fix the door handle in place. Pull the door handle away from the door. Unhook the two linkage arms inside the door that make up part of the door handle assembly. Remove them from the door.
3Move your window regulator to its lowest point within the door. This will make it much easier to remove the window from the frame.
4Use a hex wrench to remove the two mounting bolts which connect the window to the window regulator. Pull the window out of the door.
5Use your hand to move the window regulator up and down to make sure it is working correctly. Place the window back in the window frame. Line up the bolt holes on the bottom of the window with those on the top of the regulator. Fix them together by threading a mounting bolt between each of the two holes. Place the door panel and door handle assembly back in place by following the removal steps in reverse.
