Window problem!

[Green_92_EX]

My car has power windows and the driver one has problems going up and down. It will start moving then slow down and stop, and if I wait a while it will go some more but stop again. The window had a slite problem when I got it, but it has gotten worse and now it hardly moves. Somebody told me that my motors are getting hot and have to cool down thats why it stops .
But I 'm not sure whats going on. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

P.S. Oh and now my front passenger side is starting to do it. Please help!!!

My passenger side window does the exact same thing. It only does this when the weather is cold though. Not sure what it could be... someone must know lol

The motors could just be wearing out. Considering that you car is 14 years old they had a pretty good run. Just go to the junkyard and try and find some decent looking ones. should be pretty cheap

Try greasing up your railing where the window goes up and down thats what my friend recommended me do. I got a new motor and it does the same thing only when going down and when it goes up doesnt align right. Gotta readjust the regulator but im prob gonna try the grease thing sometime later since texas weather is warming up it isnt givin that much trouble right now.

Motor needs replacement. The driver side motor is the one used the most and will go out first. Autozone sells the motor and regulator for about $100.
Get the parts and take it to a auto electric place unless you want to try yourself. Make sure the door panel does not get damaged while removing it.

I was forced to replace mine because it would not pass inspection.

what are common things for inspection? vin # lights exhaust broken windows. what else?

no.....try this first,
for all the people with slow windows, spray silicone spray in the run channels. all the way around the perimeter of the window, like this:


later.

So obviously the windows gonna get all greasy, ehh?

[TypeG]

you don't spay the window, you spray the lube in the run channel. later.

14 year old car = replacing things

first thing u should do is get some clear silicone spray, i got mine from honda for free its what they use on stuck windows, spray the channel , move window up and down if no luck get a new motor and regulator, plz dont buy it from the junkyard b/c ur just buyin the same thing a 14yr motor and its more then likely bout to die

When I installed some Ventvisors on my Maxima a while back, I had the same exact problem. The motor and regulator were fine but the window had trouble closing all the way and it would always leave about 1/2 inch of gap.

A little spray of silicone spray on the window channels solved the problem permanently and now I roll up the windows much faster.
