What I mean is my power windows have seemed to slow down a fair bit over the ages and I would like to get them back up to speed!
A couple of suggestions I have been given (but am yet to try): Silicone spray surrounding seals Lubricate window tracks Replace / recondition the motors (not too keen on that one) Mini NOS kit for my windows However, I am more after as quick a fix as possible (i.e. something that doesn't require me to remove all the door trims, motors, etc). Does anyone have any suggestions, or has anyone done anything about a similar power window speed issues? --------------------  |

I've notice something that if you push the windows up on both left + right side, the windows will go up a lot slower than just pushing up one side...

Thanks for all the ideas / suggestions. I may give a few of these a go (will test the current, try to lube tracks, etc) and let ya'll know how it goes!
If there are any more suggestions keep them coming!  P.S. I am still looking for a small enough NOS kit to fit behind the trim!
