Windows sticking

PCtechieJosh · Mar 15, 2009

For a while now, my windows have been sticking in the channel in the up position when they aren't used for a while. I got all of them down but the passenger front window. I took some white lithium grease and sprayed down the channels good for those I could get to roll down. Any suggestions on how to get the passenger window down? I've tried giving the door a good whack while holding the window down button. That worked for the others, but that last one is having a hard time. The window motor is in good shape so I know it's not that.

Ideas?

is the window separating from the track that moves up and down?

That's the problem, it doesn't move up and down. It won't budge.

the regulator won't go up or down? have you cleaned the contacts for the switches? or verified that the switch is even sending the signal? are you positive that the motors work?

It won't move because the window is "frozen" in the rubber molding. You can hear the motor running if you get down close to the bottom of the door panel.

take the panel off and verify that the regulator is actually stuck and not moving, or whether the regulator is moving, and your window is just sticking. sometimes the track on my regulator pops off (poor adhesive) of the window itself, the window stays, while the regulator rolls down.

either way, take the door panel off and investigate. smacking doorpanels and holding your ear up to it can only give you so much information.
