In this video I describe how to fix the drivers side window that goes down ok, but has a hard time going up. Basically what I did was use a slice of a Q-tip shaft to shim up the post that contacts the electrical connection. This is a fast and easy fix for a frustrating problem. It has a total cost of zero and a total satisfaction factor of 10!

Worked for me perfectly! Less than 5 minutes!
Exact same problem, thank you.
Benefited from the video, even though it's not exactly what i needed to be fixed. I could have gone to the mechanic and paid for the simple stuff. Thank you!
This worked amazingly well! I had to buy the more expensive mini driver set that they sell at Home Depot, but I'll take a 10 dollar fix over 200!
Thats the same problem i have..i must to fix it myself..but i think i will use some cut up eraser…..thanks
Thx for the vid. My window isn’t going up either so now It should work again after this weekend!
Thank you very much! Saved me $200!!
Great tutorial! I was having the EXACT same problem on my 2007 mazda 3, even down to twisting the switch and reaching over with my right hand. I ended up not using the shim. When i removed the rubber gasket, i noticed the contact you were referencing had some black lines on it. I cleaned both contacts with rubbing alcohol, put it back together, and it works like a charm! Wouldn't have figured it out without your video. Thank you! Keep up the good work.
