WINDOWS : Friendly service reminder!

[rowhard]

Ty, do this. put your right hand vertically in front of you with a straight wrist, about 2 inches from you belly. That's your window. Now with your left hand, make a 'C' around your right fingers, That's the track your window runs up and down in and binds. That's what you want to lube, both the front one and the rear one. okay

I think the used car dealer lubed my windows before we picked up my truck this past Monday. I remember when I test drove it they were sluggish and I searched and read all about window woes on here. Then the day we picked it up I noticed the drivers window went up and down so fast it startled me the first time and the passenger window went up evenly instead of one side dropping like it had. But I do plan to get me some window lube soon so I can keep them running smooth as long as possible.

I may take mine a step further and just take the door panel
off. Clean the track from the inside, and then lubricate them.
The panel comes off in a few minutes.

Do you need a special tool for that? People fixing my window cracked the handle portion of my door, and for the future I was wondering about taking the inside of the door off for mnt. purposes.

they do sell a special tool for it.. looks like this..



only like 6-7 bucks at auto parts stores, i had one but lost it.. now i just use a large flat tipped screwdriver covered in electrical tape to protect the paint

I orrdered a set of those metal brackets on another thread. They're for window binding problems that sprung up the last year. I finally got around to pulling off the door panels. Turns out the tabs are okay. Just needed lube. Haha...didn't realize lube changed things that much. No more forward tilt. Well, the metal tab bracket is still a good item...I probably won't use...anything vx related still gets my money.

LUBE! i couldn't understand how lube could possibly remove the forward tilt. I tried spraying down the forward track, because that's what's binding, i thought. bah...must be a broken tab I keep hearing about. Turns out that just lubing the center (inside the door) changed the window fuunction completely. haha. I believe you, I believe you now!
