Hot Temperatures:

Rubber Seal Deterioration: Excessive heat can cause the rubber seals around the windows to deteriorate, allowing dust o r moisture to enter the door panels.

Cold Weather:

Freezing: In colder regions like Islamabad o r Murree, windows may freeze, and the motor may fail if the seals become stiff o r frozen.

Preventive Measures:

Check Seals: Regularly inspect the rubber seals and replace them if they show signs of wear.
Avoid Freezing: In cold weather, try not to operate the windows if you notice ice forming on the seals. Ensure the windows are not frozen before attempting to move them.
Regular Lubrication: Lubricate the window tracks and motors regularly to prevent stiffness from cold weather.
