So I have a 85 oldsmobile toronado Who decided that it would roll down 1 night and not roll back up... I have automatic windows. and the passenger side still works but the driver side doesnt. Ive try removing the door so that I could use pliers and vice grips It not just a toranado its a toranado clienté :)
