passenger window moves up slowly

[rqsall]

Hi,

The passenger window moves down like it should (aided by gravity I presume) but moves up very slowly and reluctantly. Sometimes stopping and moving again after getting some manual aid by pressing against the window and pushing along.

Tried changing the switches around, just to rule that part of the equation out, but to no avail. Took the trim off and took a look, but can't find anything obviuosly wrong. Connectors look fine, grease doesn't seem to be very dirty at all, but seemed a little stiff.

All parts are greased, so I was reluctant to squirt WD40 in, as it would dissolve the grease. And didn't want to ruin anything before investigating further.

I'm wondering if it just needs some lubrication (Can I just clean all the grease out and lube with WD40?) or if I should replace or overhaul the motor.

bit of duck oil in the windows channels maybe.

I've seen this with ours and used some of the silicon spray in the rubber window seals as they seemed to be very grippy. Worked for me

3in1 do a Silicon Spray, sold at Halfrauds. Non damaging to rubber etc and applied carefully, won't be seen on the glass.

Your window motor itself maybe on the way out. Mine died with the window halfway up, and it wouldn't budge either way after that. Another motor is easy enough to get hold of, and not a difficult job to change.

Nah, not difficult at all, but a bit pricey if not needed. I sprayed some teflon based lubricant in the vertical guides. At least it moves up by itself now, albeit rather slow.

Thanks for the answers.
