i have an auto, now when i roll my windows down its kinda slow but when i roll them up, it like takes forever... i have tint on the front windows if that makes a difference, do you guys have have slow roll ups or roll downs at all?

 

mine are kinda sluggish too. is it all the windows or just the front?

 

when i roll my front windows up it nearly takes forever do roll them up, but it rolls down a bit faster...i dont know what the deal is

 

 

I'd put my best guess as the window motor being the source of the slowdown. It's pretty simple to assume gravity is aiding the window on it's way down, so the same is true when you are moving them up with gravity working AGAINST you now.

I guess if it bothers you that much, you could try to grease up the window regulator track and see if that works and if not, maybe buy a new window motor. And, if all else fails and you prefer a faster window speed, try an original idea and install some old-school cranks

 

Just prior to my regulators going out, my roll up speed was sluggish compared to the other working windows. After I replaced the regulator, all has been well. Normal roll up speed.

 

still put some silcon spray in the window jams!! Depending on where you live in cold climates or rainey you will get more dirt and water in there causing more restriction inurn more wear and tear on the engine!! I live in NYC i spray mine once or twice right before winter and spring then good as new I have only changed 2 of my regulators also!! 14 yrs on the others

 

 

normal down, slow up. worse when it's raining. also, ever since i put keyless entry in, i can't raise both fronts at the same time. seems as if they're not getting enough power. the backs work okay better than the fronts (probably less wear), and they can raise up at the same time.

i'm thinking it's the motor/regulators.

 

i doubt it is the motor.

we've all replaced regulators.. but i did a motor swap once. i replaced my drivers side door a few years back (hit and run deal at a mall parking lot). when i swapped the door, i made sure that i kept all my original internals. wire harness, window jams, handle, lock mechanism, etc etc. the only thing that i replaced was the window motor.

i had a slow window, so i figured i would try another motor since it was just scrap. the new motor rolled up my window at the same speed. so unless both motors were equally weak... i dont think the motor is the culprit.

im pretty sure its your window tracks. try lubing them up with white lithium grease. it resists moisture and it doesnt really soak into the rubber like regular spray lubricant.

hope that helps.

walka

 

thanks, i'll try that out.

 

I have this same problem, if I buy this grease is it going to affect my tints? that is my only problem, I paid too much for my tints to have them messed up by some $5 can of grease.

 

i don't have keyless entry, but i have this problem with my back windows and they don't want to roll up at the same time.....matter of fact, i have all kinds of problems with my windows except the drivers window......my car is possed.....sometimes i can't roll any of the windows up with the master switch and have to reach to each door and press the button there.....then sometimes i can press the button to roll the windows up and they'll roll up half way and then roll all the way back down, or i can press up on the button and the window will roll down....been havin this problem for a while...i'm assumin its the master window switch console (whateva that thing is on the drivers door that controls the windows and locks) and i need a new one, but i don't know!
