Sticking driver's window
« on: 13 February 2012, 15:52:19 »

Hi guys

I'll be opening up the driver's door when the weather gets warmer to fix the check-strap.

While I'm in there, is there any of the window winder mechanism I can get at to add some lube? The window is binding slightly about a quarter of the way up (when the weather's really cold the anti-pinch circuitry kicks in and I have to 'inch' the window past it).

Cheers,
Gaz

Probably the glass runner channels causing the binding. Try spraying silicon lubricant down the channels & working the glass up and down a couple of times to spread the lube. hth :y

I had a similar problem and spraying silicone spray on the runners didn't help, so randomly sprayed some on the rubber seals (on the outside, along the bottom of the window) and that seem to do the trick!  :y
