Default Faster power windows?

Got my power everything conversion done in my hatch.

But the passenger window goes up slow until it gets halfway up and then it speeds up.

Any ideas to get it to go up quicker. I already WD-40ed the **** out of the window tracks.

try putting silicon lubricant instead on the rubber tracks, i heard that wd-40 is not good for it. if that doesnt help you remove the door panel then put some grease on the metal tracks.

yes, and make sure you tracks are aligned correctly.

I have a 98 dx hatch and I have been wanting to do the conversion to all power as well, I know the easiest way is to buy ex doors but how do you go about wiring them up the right way?

I found a set of 99 si doors at a junkyard that were not the color I had, So I took the guts [power window regulators, actuators etc all of the harness out, I i put them into the doors already on my car.
I can send you a walkthrough if you need it.

Then I went to another junkyard and found an ex floor harness, the whole entire thing is plug and play, except you will have a few extra plugs because the ex had more options {fuel pressure sensor i think, moonroof etc.

Dont forget to get a power mirror switch, 3 20 amp fuses and a power window and lock relay. its pretty easy. the hard part is taking apart the entire interior.

I would take the carpet out too, it makes it alot easier.

Keeep on hand some electrical tape, soldering gun, zip ties and some wire cutters.

My ex harness had the seatbelt plug cut off, so i simply cut the one off my dx harness soldered it to my ex harness.

IF you need any help or anything Pm me.

Silicone spray down the tracks.

White lithium grease isn't good for contacting rubber.

Silicone worked really good, what kinda grease should I put on the metal itself?

WD-40 is not good for that at ALL. That stuff eats rubber and metal over time. Google the long term effects of it on bolts and things
