How to Lubricate Slow Window Regulators?
1 Answers
Methods to lubricate slow-moving window glass: 1. Lower the window glass completely and spray panel wax into the rubber seals on both sides of the glass; 2. Operate the window regulator again - sticking or sluggish movement should improve; 3. Lower the glass fully once more and reapply panel wax to both sides. Causes of slow window operation include: 1. Faulty regulator mechanism; 2. Aging motor with insufficient power; 3. Excessive resistance from deteriorated outer water seals or inner dust seals; 4. Overly tight window channels or foreign objects in the track. Automotive window regulators typically consist of: Operating mechanism (manual crank or electric controls), Transmission system (gears, gear plates/racks, or cable-driven mechanisms), Lifting mechanism (regulator arms and moving brackets), Glass support system (glass carriers), plus stop springs and balance springs.
