Too Afraid to Ask

Electric windows let you open and close the side doors of a car with a button, so you don’t have to pull on a crank or hand‑crank.

Electric windows are powered by a small motor that raises and lowers the car’s side windows at the touch of a button, replacing the older manual crank or hand‑crank systems.
