'I read it somewhere' is not good enough, tufguy.

You should know by now that we need context to give you a useful answer to questions like this.

Sorry I don't remember the context. I thought it was like wind up the window.

We only "wind up the window" in a car. These days, when most cars have electric windows, even that phrase is a little outdated. I'd just say "close the window" whether I was talking about a car window or the window in a room.
