Slow power windows

[Mattadvance]

My TJ's power windows are getting very slow to go up. Has anyone tried silicone spray and if so does it work?

Silicone spray is alright. I would probably do lithium grease instead.

Yeah need to take the door cards off and apply some lithium grease should solve the problem

Thanks for post. Greased my power windows today, helped heaps!! Another good idea, is to keep your windows clean. After it rains and the water dries you get the dirt left over. Clean it, dont let it build up, its like sand paper for the door trim top edges... found out the hard way with my TS. Didnt wash the window for ages and the dirt built up, went to open the window one day, snapped the cable....

Hi, I always use graphite powder in one of those little 'puffer' bottles, the problems with grease is it'll attract dust. The advantage of the graphite is you don't even have to remove the door trims.

If you dont remove the door trims then how is it applied?

+1 for lithium grease, I use the CRC spray on type and when applied it does dry somewhat so isn't too tacky & I have observed it doesn't really attract dust as such. I usually do my driver's power window every 2 years or so.

Probably poured down the door with the window wound down

I'd be really interested in how this is applied and if it works! I have a really slow front passenger window and at $10 a bottle from SuperCheap Auto I might bite the bullet and give it a shot.

Is it just poured down the door with the window down?

Anyone else used the graphite powder?
