Noisy and loose windows

[ExplodingCake]

I tried to read aero's DIY about fixing noisy loose windows , but i think it was for coupes only.

Ok heres the thing. My 2 rear wondows are kind messed up. When i roll em down they work fine but when I roll em up the like lean to the other side and grind until it goes up. I tightend up all the screws inside but it is still hella loose. Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.

You try adjusting it? If I remember you can slightly adjust the rear regulator. But is everything in the rails and such? You try lubing them up to see if they go up smoother? You never know could be catching something in the rails.

yeah i tried adjusting it. It even scratched my fingers lol. I also tried lubing them up. It went a lil smoother but it's still loose and grinds. I bet your right there could be something catching on the rails. I'll recheck it when I have time. Thanks

You can try to just lube up the tracks, and see if that helps.

Use silicon spray (NOT WD-40), and spray it in the tracks on the sides of the windows, and roll them up/down while spraying. That might help quite a bit.

If not, you can adjust them a little at the bottom of the window with the two screws where it connects to the window motor frame, but dont over-tighten those screws, because that plastic that it goes into strips kinda easy.

You could use lithium grease to lube up the rails too =D. Thats what I used works wonders. Basically lube up all moving parts. WD40 sucks as mentioned doesnt last for a long time lol. After a couple up and down its basically wore out plus not really good for rubber.

I used silicon spray for the front and it worked beautifully. Windows go up faster than ever. However, the silicon didn't do it's job well for the rears. But, I did what you and Nail05 said about adjusting by doing the screws. It help a bit so I guess im on the right track. More time and better temperature is all I need lol. Thanks for the info
