Inside a solar powered car ventilator.

It was more a case of wanting to get the window back up to keep the rain out. The passenger side window rarely actually gets used. That's probably why it failed.

For my car, I use a "car dehumidifier", which is basically a large silica gel pack that can be microwaved. It has an indicator that turns pink when it is saturated, in which case I microwave it for 6 minutes, let it cool and put back in the window. It seems to do the trick, although sometimes leaves some mist build-up on frosty mornings.

I massively overpaid for 2 of these about 10 years ago. They don't work - absolute garbage. Like you said, they are a lot of work to install. Sorry about your window - I can't believe you glued it shut! Most window regulators are fairly simple to repair or replace.

It's an old vehicle. Its resale value is near zero. If it had been newer I'd have fixed it properly.

locking up the window might not do much for your 2end hand value, fixing ir with 2end parts better option than leave it broken, also a lot more fun

Sorry your window winder took a dirt nap.

I did end up using a suction cup mount as a secondary precaution to some tape going over the top of the door and onto both sides of the glass while the silicone cured. I took a look at your DIY dehumidifier. I'd been looking at that Felight litter and wondering if it was crushed silica gel. If it is then it's a great way to get it in bulk.

To stop knackered glass from sliding down into the door, get one of those glass suction cups and use that onto the window, wedged against the door so it won't slide down. I also made my own silica dehumidifier, <a href="https://www.evilution.co.uk/1162" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.evilution.co.uk/1162</a>
