How do you get the rear windows to go all way down on a 1997 Ford Taurus?

The 1997 Ford Taurus's rear windows likely don't go all the way down. Many cars from that era, especially sedans, had rear windows that only rolled down partially for safety and structural reasons. There's usually a built-in limit to how far they can descend.

If your rear windows are *not* going even as far down as they should, then you're likely dealing with a mechanical or electrical problem:

* Check the window regulators: These are the mechanisms that control the up-and-down movement of the glass. They can wear out, break, or become jammed with debris.

* Inspect the window motors: These are the electric motors that power the regulators. A faulty motor prevents the windows from moving.

* Examine the wiring: Check for broken, frayed, or disconnected wires in the door harness. These wires supply power to the motors.

* Look for obstructions: Something might be blocking the window from going down, like a child's toy or a piece of trim.

If you've determined it's not a design limitation and the windows aren't functioning correctly, you'll likely need to take the car to a mechanic or an auto parts store for diagnosis and repair. Trying to fix the window regulator or motor yourself can be challenging, especially without experience.
