Default hey people... i have a weird question...

My front windows roll up REAL slow.... i have a 95 Accord v6.. 4 door.. power windows... and they roll up very slow...especially in the cold... i also have tint (which i was told can slow your window down a little- im not sure though) but my back windows seem to roll up fine.. tint as well.... so i was wondering.. if it is possible to swap the back window regulators into the front? ... and if they were the same regulator to be able to do that with? .... if anyone can help it would be very appreciated...

It is Shin Etzu grease, an industrial strength silicone grease. It costs about $13 or so for a tube about the size of a tube of toothpaste, 100 grams? It is good stuff.

After you get it, use q-tips to clean the tracks as best you can. If you use soapy water, let it dry. Then use q-tips to smear the Shin Etzu grease in the tracks.
