Power Window Remedy:

I posted this thread instaed of typing and posting it 2 or 3 times.

If your power windows are running slow, take the cheap route first before anything else. Take the door panels apart and regrease the window tracks, both inside and outside of the track where the metal window frame makes contact. I used hi-temp brake caliper grease (dark grey grease) on my window traks when they were running slow before and it worked great! They still run like new even after 2 years.
If that doesn't do the trick, then most likely you'll have to replace the window motor(s).

If the window motor(s) aren't responding at all, check the fuses first. The other checks are a little more difficult to perform because they require a voltometer.

I actually had a window switch on the door panel go bad on me once. The window would go down, but not up. Happened at a bad time too, during a snowstorm! :mad:

Hope this helps.
If there is anything I forgot, or better tips out there, please post them.

I just quoted you and and added them to 2 threads [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] I'll be checking my car tommorow. Is it pretty straight forward to get you door panels off or is it a big mess?

It's not oo hard to get the panels off.
Remove the two big screws on the armrest, the one screw holding the triangle piece just oppisite of the rear view mirror, pull the power window switches up and unplug, and remove the one screw holding the single plastic piece behind the door handle.
After that's all done, then lift/push the door panel straight up. It'll take a little work, but it'll lift and finally come off.
There is a clear plastic shield that will be in your way that is held on by black silicone. Just carefully remove it to access the window tracks, and replace it when you are done.
