i read some of the archived posts on slow power windows and they instruct you to grease the wondow channels. I removed the door panel and applied Lithium Grease (a gooey black substance) in between the two rubber channels with a q-tip and it did nothing if not made it worse. is this the wrong place or wrong stuff or what?

 

a lot of the posts recommend silicone. Give that a try instead. If you're using the word right, I don't think gooey would help.
Getting the grease down into the channels inside the door frame is where you really want it.
Make sure you go by other words of advice to. If greasing it up doesnt work, you might just have faulty electronics.

 

so did i mess it up now that there is lithium grease all in the tracks : (

 

I'm not familiar with the stuff but here's one description:
Lubricates & Protects All Metal Parts
and I'm not sure how metalic the rails are so eh.. I doubt it ruined it but give silicone a try, that works on plastic and rubber.

 

honda sells a lude, use that.

the problem with the "other" stuff is taht they will dry after a while, if they do coked up, the track will be jammed and the window will not go down with the speed they used to.

if you are dealing with those dirt and dried up grease, use the carb cleaner to remove the goo
