Default Window Problem

My power windows roll up and down but just really slow, and sometimes when its cold or hot it tends to stop halfway and i would have to roll it up and go down to get it all the way down. Do i need to lube it? or do i need new regulators? Thanks

Shoot some silicone spray around the front and rear edge of the glass.

No. Just roll the windows all the way down and spray the silicone lubricant down both rubber side channels.

My window comes down straight most of the time but sometimes it gets wedged. The front goes down less than the back does. When going up the front always goes up a little less than the back of the wondow. When it's all the way up the back of the window is closed tight and the front has like a 1/4 inch gap. I've tired taking it apart and re-adjusting the front slide but no matter what I do it does the same thing. This can't be the regulator.

the track is probably missalined, could be from someone trying to steal your car.

I always have a problem with my driver side window as well. I work at 5am and when I roll the window down to open my work gates, it gets derailed from its track maybe 1 out of 20 times on its way back up. It lookes like the rubber side channels bind againgst the window when it comes up. I don't know how this would throw the window off the track, but mine tends to come off frequently

I tried the silicone spray and my windows rolls up and down way smoother. But its still a little slow, I guess its time for new regulators.
