Get Those Power Windows Fixed, Stat!

Power windows are super convenient when they’re working. Remember the old crank windows? They could be downright stubborn to roll up and down. With power windows all you do is touch a button and you can get fresh air. When power windows break, is it really necessary to go to the expense and bother of repairing them? The answer is a resounding yes! Functioning power windows are an important part of safe driving.

The Benefits of Fully-Functioning Power Windows

1. Keep the kids in the back safe. Children love to push buttons. Power windows allow the driver to lock the windows in the back seat, thereby preventing Junior from opening a window and sticking a body part outside the vehicle.
2. Less distraction for the driver. Drivers need to focus on the road, not on whether or not the windows are adjusted for the perfect breeze. Power windows are much easier to operate, and therefore take less effort and concentration to roll up or down.
3. Ease of operation. Many drivers and passengers may have health impairments that make it difficult to operate manual windows. Conditions such as arthritis, partial paralysis due to stroke, or even a broken arm are common and inhibit window use. With power windows nearly everyone can adjust their windows with ease.
4. Security. A locked car won’t deter thieves if your windows are down. When your power windows are broken, you may not be able to roll them up or they may be easy to pry down from the outside of the vehicle. Either scenario means your car or truck is not secure.
5. The driver has control. With the touch of a few buttons, the driver can control all the windows in the vehicle. Roll them up, roll them down, or keep them half-mast, whatever provides the ideal climate in the car.

Power windows are much more than a luxury feature. Don’t drive without them.
