Slow Power Windows

[Pyramid_Head]

Does anyone know what's the remedy for slow power windows besides buying four expensive motors for it? My idiot of a brother drove my car with the windows down while it was raining (such an idiot) and i guess a little too much water seeped inside.

um you might be able to spray some of that aerisol lubricant onto the tracks of the windows an also on the gears an stuff.... that is what you can do most of the time, but if it is off track at all that could be causing the windows to move slow as well... if it is still moving slow after you do this, then you might wanna consider taking it in an having it looked at an see what somebody else says about it... it might just be that you are going to have to replace the motors... you dont know untile you try though right.. good luck.

I gutted out my doors today and found out that all my windows weren't alligned with the rail. I also put some lubricant on the gears just in case. So I might not need the motors. Although they did have water on them (sucks). Thanks again

hey when u say rails do you mean the window tracks? i just put in a new reg and motor caus my window waas slow and it had a lot of play. it fixed the play and i made sure it was in the tracks but they r still slow. didnt have any lube cuz i couldnt find any of the silicon based stuff. any suggestions?

I've noticed in my car whenever i would put the windows up or down it would wobble or make a snapping sound. I also saw that it would go up unevenly. When i took out my panels i found out that the rail was a little slanted. The bolt on the right was also loose. All i did was reallign the rail and retightened it. That was just one of my windows. I guess i'll fix the others later. It still goes a little slow though, but not like before.

ahh ok ill check it out tommorrow my regulator was cracked cau someone broke into the car beofre i owned it and screwed things up.

none of that shit just get some pyroil silicone lubricat and spray it in the side tracks of the window. not where the window comes but where the windows goes up to. and then do it several times rolling the windows up and down and it will get smoother and smoother and just stop when you think it is where is supposed to be.

[Pyramid_Head]

My windows were really messed up because i did spray a couple of times, rolled my windows up and down for a while (as posted in the old forum), and no progress was made. But you should try that first. It might just need lubrication, but if that doesn't work, look at your rails and motor.

[jdmaccordbo!916]

pyroil is the name of the shit i was trying to think of.. good ish.. i new somebody would say that name eventualy..

[Infini Omega]

I told U, that is a big problem. U have to fix it. I knew it cuz last time my friend had same problem with his Toyota Starlet (don't mind the Starlet, it's not happened here). We try to fix it, but it already bent, and broke one of the plastic gears. My cheap suggestion... go to the junkyard, get the same whole item and throw the old one away.. :D

[eyentheterrible]

pyroil, can i find that at like autozone or an oreilly's? napa or car quest? or is it a dealer item? ive got a new regulator and motor on it havent had the time to scope the rails yet but we'll see............

[Infini Omega]

yea you can get it at most automotive stores just ask for silicone sprays

[jdmaccordbo!916]

[Infini Omega]

its like 3 bucks or so

[jdmaccordbo!916]

an it says right on the can pyroil or whatever it is called.. ok im going to go an try an find it latter today...

[Infini Omega]

yup pyrroil makes good lubricant

[jdmaccordbo!916]

ok im going to give that shit a try..

[Infini Omega]

good shit its worth a try

[anasowner]

would u guys recommend that pyroil stuff to lubricate the door hinges as well? And also my driver's side door seems a little misalinged, anybody have this problem where it seems to hang about half an inch too low on the right bottom corner

[Pyramid_Head]

I have the same problem. Both the passenger and driver doors are sagging a little, but i haven't really done anything about it. The bolts are probably are little loose. How to fix it? I don't know. And..., sure. Why not? Spray some Pyroil on your hinges. Just make sure you don't spay some on your body paint. The shit's a bitch to take off if it dries.

[wicked95]

i have the same problem all u guys have but i was woundering were could i get the lubricant and what is the name of it

[anasowner]

everybody recommends a silicone based lubricant named Pyroil, and says any parts store ie: pep boys, autozone you can get it at

I had the same problem and bought and self installed a new window regulator a the new one raise the window faster by about 0.5 inches that the other opposite one. Got it from 1aauto.com.

[5peedCoupe]

i dont knoe but maybe u guys had this problem too. like when i roll up the windows.. the switch makes a clicking noise.. when iam on the driverside and roll up the passanger side window... the switch makes a clicking noise as it rolls the window up.. u guys think it is the switch that might be messed up??

[robfrmny]

its the rubber track the windows go into, the water might have washed away what ever lube was on it....
