The passenger side front window is going up slower and slower. It looks to me like I need to lubricate the thing in the door/ window frame the glass goes up into, what do they call that?
Anyway, is there a preferred lubricant? I was thinking just a little WD40 sprayed in there.
Thanks.
Spray silicone works better and lasts longer and will not harm the rubber or vinyl window channels.
Good, I already have some. Thanks.
I wouldn't use WD40 for this application. (WD40 works great as a fish bait, Rainbow trout love it) Silicone spray would be a better choice.
Well I tried silicone and it helped a little bit. What I don't understand is there never was silicone there before, and there isn't any silicone on any other window, and they all work fine. So why does this window need silicone? Is it an indication of something else going wrong?
Lubricant would be a stop gap at best. The only things that would cause your problem would be:
1 Dirt in the track. (Maybe something sticky spilled and not cleaned up) 2 Window motor failing. (In my experience, the usually fail without warning) 3 Worn parts in the window tracks or track mechanism. 4 Wir>Have something to add? Share your thoughts — no account required.
