Another window problem...

I dunno if anyone else has experienced this, but the rubber thing where the edge of the window is (inside the car) keeps trying to bunch up when i have my window down and trying to get it up again. It either makes my window go up really slow or it catches and won't go up at all...its really annoying and just started happening now. Anyone else have this problem or suggest how to fix it?

I had the same problem wit mine, but it was the rubber on the outside bunchin up. which made my window not go up at all some days. i fixed mine by takin the door panel off and expectin everywhere around the window. found out that a piece of the rubber from the side of the window was stuck down there. and after i took that out work perfect since then. oh and while i had the panel off i also put like oil down tracks and anything else the the window slides on. really easy just be carefull not to break the security wire if its on driver side.

it sounds weird, but rub a little KY on it. It'll smear for a few days but should help in the end. Also, try lubing the windows slots. THere should be a thread somewhere that explains where to put the silicone lube. Try a search

I just recently fixed this problem, it sucks ass to. You have to take the door panel off. What happened is the window came off track (if it is the same that happened to me). The rubber piece is attached to a metal track inside the door. To fix:

(1) Take the door panel off. Then you still cant see the metal brace b/c it is inside the actual metal door.
(2) Look at the bottom right of the door, there is a hole and you can stick your hand up in there and feel the window. Take a flash light and shine it in there and you will see that the window is off the metal track.
(3) There is a bracket that holds the metal track. You can also see this through that hole and you can also see where the bracket is bolted to the door. Unbolt the bracket and that will free up the metal track.
(4) The track will still be pretty ridged and hard to move but you can move it back towards the front of the car just enough to pull the window back to the inside of the track.
(5) Then once the window is on track and everything just rebolt up the bracket and put the door panel back on and you should be set.
