Sticky dragging power windows
Sticky dragging power windows
My car is 20 months old and the power windows are getting a little "sticky" going up and down.
In the past, with other cars, I have tried WD-40 and Silicone spray on the felt\rubber channel and in only a few weeks that only made matters worse.
Lately, I've heard of using vegetable oil, rain-X or Shin-Etsu silicone paste, although I'm reluctant to try these due to my past experience with making things worst.
I live in Florida and this happens when it is hot or cool and on both front windows. Also, the exposed section of the felt channel looks in excellent condition.
I'm fairly certain it is only friction between the window and channel causing this. Anyone know of a "harmless" window channel lubricant or solution for the sticky window problem?

Dealer time.
WD-40 is not a lubricant but a water displacer. If anything, you should use Honda silicone lubricant in the tracks, but definitely not WD-40. The Honda silicone spray is available at dealers, and was recommended years ago for the G2 Legend with sticky/slow windows...but that was well after warranty expiration.
If you are still under warranty, use it.
