When I put my driver's window down, it goes down great until about the last 3", when it seems to start sticking and going down really slow - sometimes it won't go down unless I push it down to help it. The passenger's window is worse...it's slow right from the top, and gets progressively worse. I know it COULD be the motor going bad, but I'd like to try greasing it up first. What exactly would I grease?

 

Check the regulators and the rails first... It could be binding on those last 3" of travel... I'm not sure what it's greased with, but more than likely it's either lithium grease or silicone lube...

 

silicone!

 

silicone spray. spray it in the runs (where the window slides) and put the window up/down...repeat if necessary. ******* will fly up and down afterwards...

 

Great advice, thank you!

 

get a service manual

everyone is sitting quietly in my school library and i laughed out loud after i read that

my one window sticks at the top,
after i help "unlock it" it'll work fine from there

should i silicone spray inside the top window frame or am i going to have to look inside the door?

 

You are going to have to take the door panel off and spray in the runners there.

 

Don't get that ish on your paint, it will never come off!

 

I had this **** happen to my car as well. First take off the entire door panel and the plastic weather stripping to make sure the window is on track. Then spray silicone on the tracks and the run channel so that it gets lubed up.
