TOP FAQs
Broken car window repairs & faulty regulator Questions
My window is stuck down — can you come and secure the car?
Yes! We can come onsite, get your window back up, and make your car secure from the weather and anything else that shouldn’t be inside your vehicle. While onsite, we’ll also assess the damage and provide you with a quote for any parts or repairs needed.
Why won't my car window go up or down?
If you hear the motor but the glass doesn't move, your window regulator or clips are likely broken. These plastic parts can become brittle and snap over time, causing the glass to jam or fall inside the door.
What causes a car window regulator to fail?
Most failures are caused by wear and tear, broken plastic clips, frayed cables, or damaged scissor arms. Heat, vibration, and moisture all weaken these parts — especially in older vehicles.
Can I still drive with a broken window regulator?
Yes, but it's not recommended. The glass can drop suddenly, rattle, or even shatter if the regulator fails completely. It's best to have it repaired as soon as possible to avoid further damage or theft risk.
How do I know if it's the window switch or regulator that's faulty?
If you press the switch and hear no sound, the switch or motor may be faulty.
If you hear the motor running but the glass doesn't move, it's usually the regulator mechanism that's broken.
Can I just replace the broken clip or part of the regulator?
In most vehicles, window regulators are sold as complete assemblies, not individual parts. While some clips can be replaced, most failures require a full regulator unit for a reliable long-term fix.
How much does it cost to fix a broken car window regulator?
Typical costs start from around $400, depending on the make and model. Premium brands or frameless doors (like BMW, Audi, or Mercedes) can cost more due to complex designs and parts.
How long does it take to replace a window regulator?
Most window regulators can be replaced onsite within 1.5–2 hours by a mobile technician — no need to visit a workshop.
Can Auto Hero fix my window onsite?
Yes! Auto Hero technicians can repair or replace window regulators anywhere across Sydney — at home, work, or roadside. Call 1800 79 79 77 for same-day service.
What if my glass has dropped inside the door?
That's a clear sign of broken clips or cables inside the regulator. Avoid using the switch and book a repair quickly — operating it further may damage the motor or scratch the glass.
Will my window work like new after replacement?
Yes. A new window regulator restores factory operation, smooth movement, and full sealing against wind and water leaks.

Had a flat tyre and Matt came to the rescue. Quick call out, super friendly and he had it changed in no time. Top bloke and great service, would definitely recommend Auto Hero!
Matt went above and beyond to help navigate a difficult problem. Highly recommend to anyone needing auto service.
I really appreciate Matt’s help! He responded quickly and arrived right on time, even on short notice and in Sydney’s heavy rain. My car wasn’t starting and he helped me with a jump start straight away. Reliable, friendly, and professional. I’d definitely recommend him for any job
The service was prompt and reasonably priced. I highly recommend it!
Matt was such a nice and friendly with us and kept professionalism. We had issue with our car window which Matt explained and fixed it within few minutes. The whole process from start to finish was well explained and executive. I strongly suggest to have your car issues solved out with Matt from Auto Hero. Thank you for the service.
Matt was very helpful and efficient, replace the battery of my car in no time even explain the condition of my car for me in detail so i know what to expect and how can i take care of it better. Highly Recommended, all the best
Matt did a wonderful job repairing my tyre. From the very beginning, he had such a nice approach over the phone, answered quickly, and was very responsive. He arrived exactly at the time he said he would and fixed the tyre perfectly. Great service, reliable and professional. I highly recommend him!
Matt drove all the way out to us in Gledswood Hills and was so quick and efficient. He was beyond kind and great at what he does. Could not recommend more.
Matt was so efficient, so cost effective (a good $200 cheaper than every other quote to fix my car's side mirror), so communicative, and also just such a great guy. Even offered to give us some money back because it took less time than he thought it would. Cannot recommend him enough!
Was stranded on the road, called auto hero and in half an hour they came to check if everything was okay, helped me with my tires and also educated me on wheel alignment. Definitely will recommend them highly!??
