front windows

[Draconis]

is there anything I can do to speed up my electric windows ? they go down reasonably fast but it's like watching paint dry watching them come up again, the motor seems ok and no bad noises probably just a lubrication required, but where ? and more importantly how ?

Hi any light oil, on the sliders on both sides, put it on when windows down. I put it on the glass seals it makes the windows a bit smeared but it soon wipes off, then watch those window go!............ :smile: bri....

bit of PTFE spray should be ok then ?

PTFE or Silicone Lube is perfect.

PS do the back ones too if you av em.

 

[Draconis]

strangely the back ones zip up and down like demons but the heavily used front ones drag like a bitch

will drown them in PTFE tonight and see what happens

i brought this up on a previous post... someone suggested good old household furniture polish. was a but apprehensive but i sprayed it down the window into the seals etc and its worked a treat, that was about 6 months ago and they've been speedy ever since.
an easy cheap fix...

Some polishes are silicone based. I also used to use polish in the awning rails of the caravan.

Try rubbing some candle wax on the sliders cheap and does the trick :wink:
