The power window regulator has went out on my 2002 Ford Explorer. The window is completely down. How do we raise the window manually to disconnect the window from the regulator? It is raining here, and help would be greatly appreciated.

Suggested Repair

With the ignition on, hold the window switch in the up position and firmly tap the lower front of the door or door panel near the hinge with a rubber mallet. This may jar the motor enough to raise the window, possibly only once.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 2002 Ford Explorer says the power window regulator failed with the window fully down and asks how to raise it manually during rain. The expert suggests holding the close button with the key on and striking the door near the hinge to jar the motor so the window may rise.
