Every day I enter and exit a parking garage. I’m quite accustomed to this routine. I pull into the garage, roll my window down, scan the card, roll my window up, and find a spot. Except lately the routine has been modified. I pull into the garage, roll my window down, scan the card, pull my window up, and find a spot.
“Wait, what’s that? You pull your window up?” you say.
I say “Yes, yes, I do.” I wait until there are no people around so it’s less embarrassing and, while pushing the button for the window to go up, reach over with my free hand to pull the window up. It’s like an aging dog that just needs some “encouragement” to get out of bed. “Good girl! You did it!” I’m adapting quite well, thank you very much. To avoid this setback, I now roll my window partially down (because then it will go back up with the button) and awkwardly extend my arm up and out to scan my card. There. Done. Easy fix.
So the next time you roll your window up, pat it on the side, and say, “Good girl! You did it!” That way you’ll look more embarrassing than me. Thanks!

This sounds familiar. I’ve had that happen to me a couple of times as well. I had to open my door to scan my badge for a while cause I had a 2×4 inside my door holding the window open, talk about embarrassing. And another time mine broke while scanning my badge. I agree with Brian, getting pretty good at changing window motors.

Haha I’ve been in the same boat on more than one occasion. Getting pretty good at changing out window motors actually.
