Well, I got my car running again good, thankfully it wasn't that bad - a short in the wiring...

In any case, I've got power windows, and the front windows are both <U>very</U> slow. One of my friends with a 93 Accord says that I should roll the windows down halfway and spray WD-40 inside the weather stripping. Has anyone heard of this trick? I want to make sure I'm not risking damaging the window motors before I try it.

Any comments from someone experienced with this problem would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Eric

 

Um....I am not so sure I'd use WD-40 - A dry lubricant (graphite?? kinda messy though), or silicone or teflon based lubricant might be better...WD-40 is petroleum based and doesn't smell real good, and probably would not last as long. Prestone makes a silicone based spray, or a product like Super-Lube (Teflon I think??) might work which you can buy at your local hardware store like Lowe's.

 

my old LX had that problem on the drivers side
what it turned out to be was that inside the door panel the window was slightly off the track and was getting some resistance from rubbing up against the weather stripping.. i put i back on track and it hauled *** up and down.
other wise it could be an electical issue..
Not sure about the WD40 trick sounds messy...

 

Go to a hand spray CAR WASH and spray the WAX cycle down between glass and rubber and it will help alot....Everytime you wash your car do that. Here in Minnesota you have to do that alot because the salt in the winter will cause you windows to work like crap... I HATE SALT ON CARS...... hope this helps

 

em wont you get water in yer doors that way though?

i got the same problem on my 90 Civic sedan and i use silicon spray, it lasts for a while but goes back to the same problem

 

I have never gotten water in mine.....Alot of people I know here in MN do the same thing...I have never heard of any problems..If you dont feel safe doing that then I would sugest using a turtle wax or something like it on your outside windows.....I use RACEGLAZE when I wax my car and I usually wipe the windows...Hardly have to use wipers either.... hope that clarify's things.....Just my advice....
