throw some silicone on that to make it go up faster, when it starts getting slow thats the time to do it so your window
motor wont break

Where do I got about lubing the window? Is it easy? do I just take off the door or what?

Also, ive noticed that our windows are some of the slowest out there. My g/f's civic windows roll up/down like guillotines compared to ours

If someone gets on to you about your windows being slow, just tell them the truth

Mine used to be hella slow too, but i found that if you take some guaze pad and spray them with armor all, and just rub the rubber area where the window slides up and down, that will make them move quicker, cuz when the windows are down, those areas get dusty

Yeah...I tried the silicone spray already....didn't really work for mine that well. Perhaps I didn't dowse it enough.

You spray it on the front and rear tracks/channels where the front and rear of the window contacts the tracks on the doors. This would be just above the door panel, at lower - front and rear corners of the window frame.
