Re: pass window has trouble going down, and wont go up

A long time ago I gave up trying to make these damn power windows roll up. I've gotten used to just holding down the back of the window as it rolls up. The silicone spray crappy ass fix works for a day or two and then gunks up the track so it binds even harder than it did before. Of course YMMV.

I've found if you take the weatherstripping out from around the window and then roll it up it seems to roll up fine. This leads me to wonder if the rubber swells or something over time and leads to it binding in the front track. I've always wanted to try buying a new piece of weatherstripping from the dealer to see how that affected the binding. If anyone ever finds a permanent fix for this issue I'd be interested to hear it. But in the mean time, I'm content with a the two-handed power window roll up.
