Yes, water and dirt can significantly damage the power window mechanism in your Suzuki Cultus. Here’s how these elements can affect the system:

Water Infiltration: If the seals around the window are damaged o r worn out, water can seep into the door panel. This water can damage the power window motor, the switch, o r the wiring. Prolonged exposure to water can also lead to rust and corrosion, further damaging the components.

Dirt and Debris: Over time, dirt, dust, and debris can accumulate in the window tracks o r around the window regulator. This debris can cause the window to move slowly o r get stuck, increasing wear and tear on the motor and regulator.

Corrosion: Both water and dirt can contribute to corrosion in the metal components of the power window system, leading to rust that can jam o r weaken the window mechanism.

How to Fix:

Seal the Door Properly: Ensure the rubber seals around the door and window are in good condition to prevent water ingress. Replace any damaged seals.

Clean the Tracks: Regularly clean the window tracks to remove any dirt, debris, o r buildup. You can use compressed air o r a soft cloth to wipe out the debris.

Check for Corrosion: If corrosion is visible on the motor o r regulator, consider replacing the affected parts before the problem worsens.

Inspect for Water Damage: If water has damaged the motor o r switch, the affected components should be dried and inspected o r replaced as needed.
