Add this to your regular maintanence, open your windows.

I recently opened my rear windows, for the first time in a while and one was stuck. It took a little while to get it to open and close and one is still running slow. Looks like I may have to open the door and use a little oil.

 

Open my widows? Oh god I hope not.

 

jeez the quality sure has gone down. I haven't opened my rear windows in over a year, just went outside and just like new

 

It's a good idea that you should open the window often, otherwise if it hasn't been open in sometime, the motor will seized since how else do you keep the lube going around the pully cable. I agree with theMax since it could get stuck or the motor operate slolwly. I don't think it's the quality as those of you who mention it. It just like if you never ran the engine for a year, then the engine gonna seized up if you started it up without any lube ever flowed around the block.

 

I think it is, I've owned 3 3rd gens and my dad used to own a 5th gen. Trust me there is a huge quality difference.

My mustang's engine wasn't run for over 4 years and it cranked with the turn of the key.

 

my RR regulator is almost dead

but my fronts still rocket up and down

 

hmm i can't remember the last time i opened the rear windows. perhaps the single digit temperatures has something to do with it.

 

I couldn't open all 4 windows.. THat's because of the weather....I had to open my door while getting food at a drive-thru

 

thats all that matters

 

I agree, the newer cars don't compare to the quality back in the day. We had an 86 Max wagon, and it was the best car...310k miles and going strong on that sucker..We got rid of it a few years ago...but man was the car solid, so reliable...Not that my Max isn't, but I loved that car. No little rattle probs, brakes, window rubber lining..it just didn't have all of the tiny probs my max does.

 

I agree i think the temps definately have something to do with this, and also agree that maxima quality keeps going down i cant imagine what the 6gen will be like in a couple of years compared to earlier gens.

 

haha, that sucks. mine if fine too!

 

I agree with quality going down also , but I also remember replacing 3 out of the 4 window regulators on my 89 max.

 

ill open mine tommorow.. its negatron degrees outside

 

Damn thats cold Were getting snow here in OH.

I don't think it is the cold weather, but it may have made the problem worse. It almost seems like the windows get stuck in the weatherstripping. Maybe its not a quality issue with the motors but a stickier weather stripping?
