Window Struggling To Wind Up

[Kingers.]

Ok well the rear passenger side window is struggling to go up been like this ever since I got it and it seems to be getting worse, it nearly comes to a stop now. it gets half way up fine but from there starts to struggle, looks like one side is getting caught or something. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Is there something that needs to be lubricated or adjusted? Will be pulling te door trim off tomorrow to have a look. Just wondering if it's a common problem

Grab a can of Nulon Silicone spray and lube up the front and rear seals and slides. This should sort it out. They get a bit slow when the lube dries out

Cool thanks for that, I'll give that a crack tomorrow and hopefully it sorts it out

Its a very common thing with fords since the AU. Ford have a product "LY70" but expect to pay a fair bit for a tube and you probably will never use it all up , they normally put some in the channels when you take the car in for a service. the problem you have if you don't lube the windows is that often you burn out the regulator motors quicker
