Thread: Window Rolls Up Slow or Not at All

Right before my GP needed a new engine, I had the windows tinted (in the summer) but it quit running before I could use them. The windows were already kinda sluggiush before the tint but they would roll all the way up and down on their own. Well, now that I have the tint AND the weather is in the 30s, 40s, and 50s, my windows barely roll up. This morning my passenger window got stuck and I had to help it up with my hand.
I'm not sure if it's due to the cold weather or the tint (which I doubt) but either way, what could be my problem? Switch, motor, regulator??

Thanks!

9 times out of 10 its the motors about to go.

use white lithium grease and spray the window rails from top to bottom.

Get new motors and regulators.

suppose it is the motor..do i have to get motors and regulators at the same time or can i just get motor?

the lithium grease might get a bit messy but you can just wipe it off. besides you would have to roll the window down to get into the top of window rails and when you do the bottom of the window rail you would have to roll up the window. just have a clean rag to wipe off the over spray if any. and if you do decide to replace the regulator and motor yes they come as one piece.

just replace all so you dont have to go back in there again.

yeah. i talked to dad about it and he wants to get the motor and regular so looks like ima have to do it one window at a time.
it was sad today somebody tried to roll down the window i was like STOP dont do that! it'll get stuck. :/
but yea. what brand do u guys recommend for the motor n regulator. i was told the motor is a motor but the regulator must be a specific kind. soo what brand?
