both of my windows are getting sluggish when i close it or open it, and almost every 3 months or so i have to tear it apart and spray some wd-40 on the tracks for it to go up and down smoother. (it has power windows) is there any other lubercation stuff that works better as in not removing the panels every 3 months or so? thanks

There's your problem. WD40 is actually a DEGREASER. Get some thick grease and smear that in there instead.

 

lithium grease maybe?

 

Silicone spray

Silicone lube, do not use grease, do not use WD40, do not use lithium, just use silicone lube. You will be very happy, it's clean and doesn't make a mess at all.

 

so where would i buy silicone spray and how does it look like?

 

or silicone lube..does autozone carry it?

 

got to a honda dealer and get some shinitzu grease it's awesome for all window seals and tracks

Maybe, any good hardwear store will have it. It is not a car specific item. It is really handy in the house for lubing all sort of things (hinges, drawer slides) cause it goes on dry and clean. And because it is silicone based it will not eat through some rubbers and plastics like some greases and oils will.

Cheers!

 

Lube spray is like $1 at any hardware store. Also, why do you take off your panels? I just spray it into the tracks and roll the windows up and down, works the same.

 

Silicone works well, but the best way to fix this problem is to replace the window regulators.

Yes, but some people like me are cheap. To each his own, I guess it depends what you see your car as; your pride and joy or your means of transportation.

Very true. I'm a mechanic so I am very nit picky about my cars, every thing has to work just right.

Yea...I've been there and done that. Keep up the hard work and it WILL pay off.
