I have tree sap on my back two windows, and i forgot about it while driving and rolled those windows down. now they wont roll back up (these are automatic windows by the way). What can i do besides take it to a shop to get them to roll back up?

I know most back windows only go down about half way because of kids.I suggest you have someone pull up on the window at the same time your holding the power switch up.Isopropyl alcohol or bug and tar remover should remove the sap.

I can't say that I have ever heard of sap causing that problem. Something doesn't sound right with that. You might be able to stick a long screwdriver down the opening and try to move the window a little to free it up, just be careful you don't cause more damage doing this. Good luck.

Yeah I agree with fisherwoman above. Make sure you didn't just lock them in the down position. It would take an insane amount of tree sap to stick power windows down.

Try squirting a 4 to 1 mixture of water & liquid dishwashing detergent into the door alongside the glass inside & out. This will lubricate the glass & help free it up. Once you get the windows up, you can clean it with bug & tar remover or something similar.

You can take the door panel off and try to clean the windows from the inside of the door through the holes in the door behind the door panels.

Geez, how much sap was it, are you sure that is the problem? Possibly you hit the button that locks the windows, on your driver side arm rest?

Buy WD-40 it is in a spray can, use a rough cloth, once removed wash windows with hot soap and water. Nail polish remover you can try but highly flammable.
