Window trouble

Well during my stay I had my car checked and certified for yet another year on the road. Not much needed attention so costs where low as well. But the car is getting older, took it home and went to work. At my workplace is a parking garage so I lowered the window and stuck my pass in and drove on. After parking the car I wanted to close the window and to my surprise that did not do a thing. Seems that after 15 years of service the switch finally caved in and I got stuck with a window that wouldn’t go up anymore….. Decided I would go home a bit earlier to fix the issue and so I did. Also because the weather forcast was not so good during the end of the day and I would like the car to be at my place if weather would decide to go bad. Back home found out the switch could not be saved anymore so a simple wire to lead 12v towards the engine for the window at least got the window up and that would keep the car dry for the time being. Ordered a new switch unit that day and a couple of days later my window was working fine again. I just hope that there will not be too many of those little things that will fail in the future as they are kind of annoying. But with a 15 year old car you can always expect the unexpected I guess. But for the time being I can drive it again for another year, so I’ll see what happens when the car turns 16.
