Why does my car window get stuck on the weatherstripping?
Interior weatherstripping wears down to the rubber in sections and flops over as the window rolls down, creating friction that blocks movement. This physical obstruction makes the window fail to operate correctly even when the electrical switches, fuses, and regulators are fully functional.
