I was washing my Maxima (96 SE) today and decided to clean the buildup that collects on the top edge of the windows. I was cleaning the drivers side when I pulled it up a little on accident. Now when ever I put the window down it jutters (On auto down). Is there anyway of fixing this problem without having to take the inside panel off or am I screwed?

I had an 85 Maimima and the drivers window just gave out. I hope this wont happen.

 

It is helpful if you make your posts with more informative Subject lines. For example, instead of Crap!! you might have used Power window problem.

The window rides up and down guided by channels at the leading and trailing edges. The trailing edge channel extends to the top of the window travel and the upper part is easy to see. The leading edge channel is shorter and is enclosed within the door.

Lower the window all the way. Spray the window channels with silicone spray lubricant. Use the long red plastic "straw" to deliver the lube to the lower part of the channels which are down inside the doors. Wipe off any overspray which lands on painted surfaces. This should produce an immediate improvement. If it doesn't, you may have a problem with the power window regulator. Servicing that part requires removal of the inside trim panel.

 

Thanks for the information. I figured if I used Crap!! I would get more replies but next time I'll be more specific.
