Will this affect window tint?
I thought I have some silicone spray in the garage what do I have to lose. I even had the track replaced a few years ago. It was the drivers side window, it started struggling going up and down again and sometimes just stop. I got my butt off the couch and sprayed it. It hauls butt going up and down now, I sprayed them all. Amazing, I have been looking at all these videos on what I might replace and looking at the costs. Hell yes, it is fixed. Thank you and now I will go and buy another can of this "Blaster" Industrial Strength silicone spray, it has a light green label. Another tip, my seat belts weren't retracting so I spayed them. Now they haul butt going back up after I unlatch it. Thanks again!
Hello. Really appreciate if u can help me out. My car have two power windows. Driver(mainswitch) and pasanger. When i separately move up and down the windows, both working fine and fast. But, if move both spontaneously, the pasanger window will move slow. May i know what is the problem, and how can i fix that. Mitsubishi Lancer Coupe '95
Cool! I need that!
What do I do if the window cant go down at all
Better than replacing glass run channels?
Hi Eric, good tip, Do you know where I can find that silicone paste?

Thanks!!!!!!
will this work on window that make squeaky noise?
One way is to cut a candle to the correct shape and rub it up and down the door glass channels.

If I don't fix it what happens
I recommend first cleaning everything (rubber, glass) – then applying grease 🙂
Can i use WD40
0:02 I was about to say “Why Eric’s hand is huge?”.
I only had silicon spray but it seem to work. I am going to get some paste and see if it works better.
Easy, just replace your old hard drive with ssd.
the first shot looks like he has an enormous right arm
Had the same issue in my ‘96 Accord, replaced all motors and regulators, still went slow, then lubricated the tracks with silicon. That helped a bit before it started running slow again. Decided to check if there was an electric issue, found out the window controller in the drivers door ended up collecting a lot of dust and grime over the years. I ended up taking the controller out of the door and sprayed it down with electric contact cleaner. It cleaned up the switches internally and allowed for a better electrical connection to the window motors. Thus allowing more current to flow thru the switch to the motor of the window making it work more efficiently. Hope this can help someone too 👍🏻
Thank you so friggin much for this video.
Eric! I have a 2000 Honda Civic and the driver side sun visor won’t stay up. Anyway to fix this?
Talcum powder works to 🙂
Thank you ETCG you saved me tons of time and money all the time lmao
My window works great now! But my battery is dead. I should have started my car before I did all that rolling up and down.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing.
If your in the window tinting business this grease trick will f@*k you in your ass!
WOuld a bot of Vaseline work, too?
Watching a video of a window repeatedly going up and down… WHAT THE HELL HAS BECOME OF MY LIFE?!?
What would cause my driver side window to roll down just fine but roll up very slow and sometimes even stop. When it stops I have to wait a few minutes and then hit the button again to make it go up more. If I grab and pull the window while I'm hitting the switch the window will roll up fine.
3M is the James Bond of Companies…… Them fools have everything 👌
Definitely works, I've done it many times in the past.
Eric, thanks for this hint. I had this
problem with my driver's window.
