Anyone have any experience installing a new passenger side window motor?? Mine is starting to slow down a bit, just like the rear one that was replaced 6 months ago. My car is out of warranty, so I stuck replacing it. I am going to call my dealer monday and b*tch. A 2 year old car should have the window motor go out. I am getting tired of this POS I have.

 

the motors arent prone to burn out, but the tracks are prone to get sticky and dirty -causing the motor to go. Park under any trees?

 

Dont park under any trees. The rear driver side motor was replaced under warranty 6 months ago. How do you clean out the tracks?

 

I got the same problem on my passenger side front. It goes up very slowly now.

Not-so-slippery tint film rubbing against a dry runner can put stress on the motors. Spray silicone on the window seals and runners every few months. Be careful not to overspray onto paint or plastic.

 

This is where an extended warranty or warrantee or guarantee will usually help. (trying to help those who eventually use the search! :-) )

Good hint on the silicone lube.

 

I'll give this a try. My rear passenger power window switch has needed to be replaced twice (motor works since I can control the window with the driver's button). My driver's side window has been making noise so I thought the motor was going to go out. My windows are tinted. I give the silicon spray a try, thanks.

 

hmmm...my passenger side window's been always slower than the driver's side. but never went out on me...

 

I forgot to mention that after they changed the rear passenger window switch the second time, a few months later it stopped working again. I am have been meaning to come in and have this fixed. Three times broken in only 2 years? The rest of the car has been fine.

 

I think the driver's side motor is a more powerful motor because of the "auto" roll-down, roll-up. I have heard that before on here....

Oh yeah excuse me for my ignorance, but how do you get the silicone on the runners? Do you have to take the door panels off?
