NSR Window sluggish

Raistlin · 27th October 2009, 09:27

The near side rear window on VeeKay is becoming increasingly sluggish when closing.

The higher it gets the slower it moves.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

may be the rubber seals have dried up with age and weather try giving them a good lubing see if that helps them as it will stop the rubber seals griping the glass.

I see what you mean but would that not transfer the lubrication agent onto the glass though?

Wind the window down and spray the runners with silicone spray, if any gets on the glass it's easy to wipe off. :lol:

It was as simple as that

Now whizzes up and down.

Thanks again chaps.

There was I contemplating having to strip the door's innards out
