I have squeaking in my rear driverside all the time and occasaionally in my rear passenger. I just thought it was my custom maxima stickers but now I will try this. Is there anything I can use instead of silicon spray? Trying to save my money.

Just a hint: I decided to do my front windows at lunch because my passenger side was terrible. Anyway after completing the instructions posted by sooner, my front passenger was still a tid bit slow coming up, as if it was still catching so I cleaned and spray the lil short 3-4 inch groove by the mirror and presto!! Up and down faster with ease.
Quick question? The windows to move quicker and easier, but my passenger is still about a sec slower going up than the drivers side. Anyone else witness this in there car or will I be looking foward to replacing the window mech soon?

I thought the window roll down thing was because of the regulator needing to be reset? did spraying the tracks resolve that problem? because i have the same issue and its a pain, my car got wet the other night because the valet didnt notice that the window rolled down a bit and left it parked like that

I know my front passenger side was terribly slow coming up, but its 10x better now. The passenger side windows still come up about a sec or two slower than the drivers side though. I just figured with all four windows coming up together that the drivers side took priority on power.

This, in turn, made the window stop and come down a 1/4-1/2 from the top. The auto up mode is designed in our cars in way where if it feels any resistance while going up, the window will automatically stop (a safety feature so that you don't get your fingers, hand, or anything else get caught in the window.) Yeah, and after I sprayed the silicone, it then glided much more smoothly.
