I was just reading on se-r.net about the windows being hard to roll up in our cars (at least in mine),and I read this entry:

"Try asking your dealer about this...my dealer fixed this free of charge on my '92 as part of what he called a "silent recall". The cause: the plastic socket that the crank goes into is cheap plastic and strips, causing the weather-striping to become torn - making it hard as hell to raise and lower the window. Eventually the glass will fall loose of the mechanism. It could be that you have the same prob and could get it fixed for free. Hope this helps."

It was written by Mike Garner, god knows how long ago, but my question is......has anyone else had this problem, and if so have they taken it to the dealer as part of the "silent recall"? I've lived with this for years now, but now its beginning to be a real pain in the butt. I think my arm has actually become stronger from rolling my damn window up. Feedback.......................

silicone spray the window tracks.. it completely solved the problem for me and i haven't even needed to reapply after a year.

of course if a dealer will take your door apart and fix it for free then more power to ya..

Do I just literally get some silicone spray and spray the tracks the window is in? How does this work?

i had the sticky window as bad as anybody.. all the weather stripping looks fine though.. the window did feel loose in the track. when it stuck, i would grab the glass and tilt it and then it would slide better... i got sick of this and sprayed the silicone with the straw in the rubber track along the b pillar side. i think that is where it matters the most.. i sprayed the other rubber glass contact points for good measure.. it worked for me 100%.

Yes, the silicone spray in the tracks is the trick.....

thanks guys, a trip to walmart just saved my arms from the workout they've been getting since i bought the car:)

My weatherstripping is torn as well, sucks a big one, but I am getting the excercise :)

New weather stripping is about $60+ from the dealer, so I will just excercise a little longer.

going to get me some silicone spray after work today. Can't wait to have smooth windows again
