when i first got my s2, in the summer, the passenger window was really slow to go back up, but the drivers side was fine. Now its got to winter and its cold, they have both gone slow, really really slow. I dont open the windows any more coz it takes several minutes for them to go back up and sometimes they look like they wont go back up at all. Anyone had any similar probs? or know what it might be?

cheers.

 

Yep, classic problem mate. Mine are sometimes like this, I find that putting a small amount of pressure on the glass and helping them back up works ok. If you find them going really slow, this means they are taking all the charge outta your battery, leccy windows take a lot of power to go up and down, but the main cause would probably be the electric window motors are knackered, mine does it too, but I'm not too fussed about it at the mo, I think most RST's do it tbh.

 

i dont really want windows open in this weather anyway, its too cold.
But when im reaching out for the ticket at the car park and im sat for ages waiting for windows, it gets a bit annoying

 

LOL - Yea I know what you mean. Well the thing I would do is to look at the motors and change them if possible

 

put some vaseline on the runners inside the door it helps!

 

strange both windows are goin slow as its usually the pass side as it gets less use ............... could make sure all the plugs are tight , could be a bad earth or like the lads have said the windows need lubricating........

 

I think i need to do this to mine, they are becomming ever slower

 

try spraying silicon onthewindow rubbers

 

I think mine is the runners in the door, still i got two new doors to fit and strip electrics off and refit so will do it then

 

on my s1 if i open the passenger side window from drivers controls it takes forever to open & the same when i close it but if i open it from the passenger control its fine. Drivers side window is fine thou. It does my head in!!!!!

sounds like bad contactsinthe switch to me

 

Cheers m7, i'll have to look into it.

 

Seein as i have to work with replacing door glasses most of the day, firstly lubricating the front and rear channels helps a helluva lot, and also popping the door card off and re greasing the runners and the runners poppers.

Also come across another problem every now and then with the secondary runner guide that holds the glass level (two 10mm bolts holding smaller runner to rear of door)

Re-grease this runner, and crack the nuts so the runner goes slack, move windo up and down once or twice, and adjust the runner accordingly to the best movement. common problem with the secondary runner moving for no reasonafter

 

my alternetor was loose, so my battery wasnt charging and the windows were really slow and battery went flat a few times. Ive had it tightened up now so they are both slightly faster, altho the passanger side is still slower.

 

Cheers for the advice till
