How to oil power window

[Dell99]

help guys, on my passenger side the power window seems to be weak. As in when i press it to go up it sorts of skips (as in how an old wind screen wiper goes). N its even worst if its been raining thus i am thinkin that the rain water went down the window n into the mechanism.

how can i oil it up

Try lubing the rails with graphite powder first.

lube the run channels first and see how that goes, just a can of lube will do, I use good old silicon spray with a spray nozzle.

can u give a better explanation. As in buy a can, place the tube between the window and the seal and spray?

[Rice_4_life]

umm it's pretty much self explanatory. The run channel is the rubber that guides the window so you spray there just a quick run up with the spray both both sides and run the window a couple of times, should make the window smoother when operating.

As Aaron said though, dont use silicon spray use graphite powder.

Lube the 2 channels on the left and right that guide the windows up. Not the one at the bottom where the window comes out from :p

Bunnings or supercheap auto.
