Turbofalke Member 658 Member For: 20y 5m 16d Location: Mexico Posted 23/01/07 07:38 AM Share Posted 23/01/07 07:38 AM It's been annoying me for a while, my drivers side window is becoming slow to travel up and down, so much so that I timed it. It takes 7.5 secs to close for fully open. The passenger window takes 4secs. Its not that it doesn't work, just slow as a wet week to close. Has anybody else had this issue and had it fixed under warrantee? I think fords are notorious for this problem.

Has anybody else had this issue and had it fixed under warrantee? I think fords are notorious for this problem.←My dealer told me that this is not a warranty matter. The problem however is very easy to fix.Apply small amounts of silicon spray into and along the full length of the window guide tracks - preferably using the thin tube that comes with the spray can. Silicon spray is available from all the big auto discount chains, it is quite cheap.Use small amounts of spray to prevent overspray and apply spray into the guide tracks only. Do not apply the spray to the window glass or the wiper rubbers.Do not overspray onto the paintwork or the interior trim. Immediately wipe off any accidental overspray.Run the window up and down a few times.Repeat the spray application and the window cycling process until desired window acceleration and final velocity is achieved.Fast (Turbo) Glass! My fix has lasted 12 months and the glass show no signs of slowing down.Regards,aa Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32007-power-windows/#findComment-489355 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to it not being under warranty. Matt Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32007-power-windows/#findComment-489429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
