Was going to ask, what's the exact problem when your window motors are becoming too sluggish? Is it just the motor going out? Or some other nice electrical problem, because I just put a new battery in my car. The worst on my car is the passenger window, it's so slow

you need to greese the tracks. i beleive they recomend every oil change to do this.

 

I used silicone spray on mine, they were as good as new

 

Hmm. Ok then, thanks guys!

yeah you can get that silicon spray at walmart for less than 2 bucks a can...good stuff

 

what exactly are you suppose to spray ?

 

I sprayed it on the tracks(inside the door) not the regulator, if you have tint let it dry before you roll them down.

 

sprayd it on the tracks? what you mean?like take out the door panels and spray the metal scissor lookin thing? sorry i dunno the names and dunno that much its cuhz i jus did a power window conversion on my ek and it goes up really slow

 

there are tracks inside the door(at the edges of the window) they guide the window inside the door, for the regulator(metal scissor) i would hit that with WD 40 or something similar.

is this something that almost anyone could do even though they dont know that much about power windows? like do i have to block anythin off? or if i accidently spray on somethin else somethin wil go wrong

 

yeah, if you can remove the door panel(inside the car) without breaking too many clip, also you have to be able to use a aerosol can

you can probably find a how to on removing the door panel if you search this site

gl

 

well yea i know how to remove door panels thats easy, but then after i do that, i spray the inside door where the windows go up and down with silicone spray and spray the regulator with wd40?

 

yup tracks silicone, reg wd

 

alright thanks

 

Im having the same problem and someone posted in my thread to try a new switch and odd enough when i used the passenger switch to roll my passenger window up, it seems faster, rolled up 1 second faster actually. Maybe i better try this grease for the metal. Any pictures of what this substance looks like...bottle wise. Thanks

 

i waited in line at wal mart for like 15 mins then found out u have to be 18 to buy silicone spray???

 

word

groggy and sluggish, like the battery's dead

no no no .. lithium greese in the tacks. That is what the window slides up and down. Take your door panel off, look in the door skeleton and roll window down, what the window slides down.. greese that.

Use the WD40 on the regulator (scissor looking thing).

lol thx for explaining the parts of a power window :-P

Aight, WD-40 in the actuator parts that move, and lithium greese in the track, thx O.o

Hopefully it'll run smoothly

I had the same prob w/ my sunroof, it wasn't greesed enough, didn't pop up all the way b4 it moved back and put 2 scratches about 1.5 inches long in the roof on both sides of the sunroof, pissed me the expletive off, but greesed it up and worked fine since :-\

Thx
