The Power Window

May 3, 2011

1120

Proton claimed that their power windows are now better with zero defects and vast improvements.

Funny fact: After two glorious years, I now can wind down my window, but I can’t put it back up. Well, I can… but it take’s extra effort.

I don’t wind down my windows that often, so I am actually puzzled because people say ‘to keep the Proton power windows intact and lasting, use it less‘. Practically, it sounds like a good idea because the less wear, the less tear, right? But I don’t wind down my windows because there’s this invention call ‘car air conditioning’ which I must have switched on when i go in my car, and it’s not because of that saying. After all, I bought a car for use, not for show. So, what gives?

Well, since I bought my car prior to the announcement of the ‘lifetime warranty’ for Proton power windows, I may not be eligible to use that ‘lifetime warranty offer’ but I’m bringing my car for a quick check up anyway, and I hope the repairs will fix this ‘powerless windows’. No lifetime warranty means less money in my wallet =(

Zero defects my ass…

hehehehe. Do you still have warranty? Maybe you can get it repaired for free.

My car MyVi is now 6 years old and starting to give me headache. Last month i spent hundreds to repair the wheel bearing.

Last weekend spent again almost RM500 to change the belting. And now i have to find money again to repair the absorber.

arghhhh

Hi Cyril, just wondering if you’ve “redeemed” the offer yet. I ask because I couldn’t find any info elsewhere. Short of calling EON, I thought I’d see what the first-hand experience is like 😀
