Power Windows.......SOLVED!!!

SOLVED.........
I am amazed that this window worked at all, as you can see from the image, the cable was splitting inside the outer sheath and had formed into a birdsnest, I checked the other side and it was the same. If you have slow or sticking power windows check this dont keep slopping grease onto the runners, it wont make a scrap of difference!!

Hi All,
My drivers side power window was starting to slow up so I did most of the things mentioned on several forums:

Cleaned the switch connections
sprayed the quarter light window channel
regreased channels that guide the window up and down, this made it worse!
Adjusted the position of the 2 channels to see if they were binding

Non of this seemed to work. I then removed the window so I could discount the window binding as the fault, having remomed the window I operated the switch, the mechanism was still very slow, sometimes stopping half way.

I then removed the rear channel, just to check it, it seems ok. The ony 2 things I can now think it can be is either the front channel or the motor. I dont think it is the motor because sometimes it is ok and sometimes not. I am tending to think that it has something to do with the front channel and it is worthy of note that since I have been messing with it it has got alot worse!

Before I rip out the motor and front channel, has anyone suffered with this and found a cure, I would be very grateful of some help...............
Cheers,
Barry

 I sprayed the rubber channels with WD40 - helped a bit. Spraying with “Holts nylon and rubber lubricant” made a huge difference.

Cheers Pete, I assume you mean the window quarterlight channel, I have tried that but no good I’m affraid.

Cheers anyway,

How do you get the motor and front track out of the door, is it through the speaker hole or the larger hole towards the centre of the door??
