Passenger window WTF
Passenger window WTF
So I rolled dow my passenger window and tried to bring it up. But it would just come up a little bit and go down again automatically. It kept doing that way for a while. I had to pull over and then try few more times and finally it went up. Not sure what’s going on, any idea ? TIA.

when it gets cold the window channels can shrink enough to cause binding. Clean out the window channels and grease with shin etsu grease:

best to also use it on any rubber mouldings or trim, will keep them great for a very long time

Mine started doing that a couple of years ago, mostly during the colder months. Since it's only the passenger side and never the driver I attribute it to the windows not being operated much. When I run it up and down until it goes all the way up, and then a couple of dozen extras, it usually works fine for a good while afterwards. A silicone spray lubricant in the window channel also works to keep they going up and down.

Hold the button all the way down, then all the way up and repeat a few times...

This worked when I tried. Thanks a bunch. Thanks to all who chimed in. Never a bad idea to clean those window gaskets. I’ll get it done in spring.
