powering up/down your windows
I know that I told everyone a couple a months back about the silicone spray to lubricate the driver's side window to stop the hideous screeching noise...
but have any of you noticed that the passenger side and rear windows go down
R E A L L Y S L O W??
it's gotten to the point that I spray them once a week!
I called and spoke to my service advisor who tells me that "the grade of rubber in the windows is so thick that it makes the spray dry up faster"
but then a friend of mine has a 2k1 frontier and he had to have the motors on both windows replaced because they failed and he was told that "all of the frontiers were coming in with the same problem"
I have begun powering down the windows every three days and spraying all four windows every sunday
are any of you having this problem with the speed of the windows going up and down??

but the passenger side goes down unusually slow in comparison to other vehicles with power windows
how is the speed on the passenger side on your max??

in the year ive had the car, ive noticed the windows getting progressively slower. i remember when i first got the car, my friends were impressed with how fast the windows rolled down. now they complain about how slow they are. the back is worse than the front. but the driver side is still fast, so i guess its just the other 3 that are slowing down.

I also have that funky screeching sound with the driver side front window and sometimes the front passenger side. I was going to try looking for some kind of rubber conditioner to see if that helps, but so far I've been a bit lazy about going out to look for that stuff.

Use the silicone spray!
Thickness: Yes all the windows are extremely slow for power windows! I already had a race with my friends T-bird and he blew the hell out of me. The toyota camary my dads ride is way slower so don't be all that dissapointed.

but being nissan they would try to blame it on a mod...like the tint or my ventvisors
or even tell me that i close the doors the wrong way
or blame it on the weather!!

Nissan dealers are pretty inventive with that stuff or your aftermarket stereo system overloaded the battery causing the power window motors to fail... I think thats it right there

Is it cause my car is new...and I should expect some major slowing down over the next year???

Mine have slowed down also... I think it's on the 2000 Maxima where the change in speed is noticeable. The dealership told me to use the dry silicone spray, which he said they would do that anyway to get them to move faster. I didn't buy the extended warranty thru Nissan, because Geico offers it on new cars for a lot cheaper, but I want them to mess up already so I can fix them.I am already at 65,000 miles 
and want to do it before the extended warranty runs out!

I've already tried the hand in the window thing on the drivers side and it does the auto down feature if you do get something stuck in there.

Where do you get this dry silicone spray? My dumba$s has been using regular wet silicone spray. I usually soak all my windows and all the rubber and let it sit and roll the windows up and down a dozen times or so. Tha only down side is I get a bad haze on all 4 windows.
