Climate-Related Power Window Issues:

Hot Climates: Extreme heat can cause rubber seals around the window to become sticky, affecting how smoothly the window operates.
Cold Climates: Freezing temperatures can cause the window to freeze o r get stuck, especially if moisture gets trapped in the window seals o r tracks. This may cause difficulty in raising o r lowering the window.

Does your Hilux operate in extreme weather conditions? If so, have you noticed any specific power window issues related to the climate?
