I think my window motors are going out. My windows roll up and down very very slow. Last night, my passenger window wouldnt even roll down. It was like stuck sort of. I can see some slight movement from the rear side of the window. But it appears it was sticking on the side closest to the side mirror. When I applied pressure to that area, it started to go down slowly. When it rolled all the way down. It wouldnt go up. It would go up about an inch or so, then get stuck. I'll roll it back down and try again. Same thing. I had to pull on what I could, and roll it up at the same time to get it shut.

spray Wd-40 on the tracks that the windows go to. then put some grease on the teeth of the motor, and just anything that has movement.. lube it.

What type of grease did you use for the teeth? I've gotta lube up my tracks the first warm(er) day we get here. Do you think generic spray lithium grease would be enough?

i just finished fixing my driver side window. the window will go up slow and eventually came to the point it never cameback up. i open the motor kit and notice inside the cable was braking and was already half broken but the motor was working.. i got a new regular+motor just to make it easier. i installed it then i use sillicon spray and use it all over the window track, now that stuff works. my window is working better that it ever did since i own my car. use the sillicon spray on the visible window track not wd-40 since it drys up the track and make worse. now i need to wait for the rest of windows to stop working heh my driver side window moves at light speed compare to the rest lol

Most automotive stores carry silicone spray, all you have to do is spray it in the windows tracks, and work it in by rolling your windows up and down a few times.

Honda makes their own silicone spray and you can purcash them at the dealer http://powersports.honda.com/the_goo...&TheGoodsDir=4
or you can use any other brand of silicone spray that they sell at the autoparts store.

A96 Mine is really slow on passenger side, It gets stuck too in colder weather. I'm wondering how much that window motor you got cost and how hard was it to install/fix??

Thanks,
wesside
