I'm replacing 2 window motors because they went out within a month of each other and I chose not to use the others. I thought the window fell out of the track/holder (happened on my older autos). When I went in to fix it I found a mess of wire coming out of the motor. Asked my brother-in-law about it because he has had several of my make and model and he said they wouldn't have done that had I kept my tracks lubed as this video suggests. Well I never knew it was a thing. So after replacing them I am going to clean lube them just like this video instructs. Thanks Sweet Project Cars!

Hey Larry, I have to replace my driver door and 2nd row passenger window motors in my 05 Highlander. Can you tell me more about the mess you ran into with yer Beastie? They didn't work well before some crackhead beat out my windows now they work even worse.
I have been in the auto detail industry for over 25 years and honestly the window tracks have never crossed my mind in terms of them slowing the up and down process, I always figured it was a weak motor... interesting, two 👍👍

The main problem with sticking windows is it puts strain on the motor and regulator which can be an expensive repair. Good demonstration here which includes cleaning of the channels.
Thumbs up for sure, the only video I have seen where the person cleans the window channel first and actually shows the window going up/down before and after.
Car Detailer for the last 30 years from Brechin, Scotland here, Just recently came across your channel, Fantastic tips Keep up the good work love your videos
One of the most useful channels on youtube, common sense videos we can all learn from to make our wheels last longer, stay cleaner and give us better service.
I just did this on my 2003 Chevy Silverado. The windows had been running pretty slowly. I doubt the original owner ever cleaned them. I did not have your fancy air nozzle 😊, but I used a computer can of air. By golly, they are working so much better!! THANK YOU!!!! ❤❤
I know this is an older video, but I just did this on a used car I just bought and it worked great. Both front windows were sticking about halfway - not going slow, stopped. I was worried I'd have to get new motors - this did the trick, even before the lube. THANKS!
I always used a little silicone spray with a tube on the can, running from the bottom of the window channel to the top. I never thought to clean it out and use rain-x to coat the rubber, though. Great video, as always! Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks!
What you said about "use it or lose it" is exactly correct! When I got my old Buick- nobody had hardly used the passenger side window. As soon as I began to- SNAP CRACKLE POP and I was installing a new motor. The nylon gear was dry, and the glass tracks were filthy and sticky. That dry lube is a great idea- no mess on the glass, no petroleum distillates to damage plastics. Excellent! Thank you.

Thank you sir. See to believe! I will try it. Maybe I will also find out that my power window motors were not bad after all!! Keep showing us how to make our lives easier for us. Most appreciated.
Most of the time, it's not the motors, we've found that are bad. Thanks for watching and sharing kil, hope you have a great week and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I hadn't really given a thought about making sure that you exercise your power windows like this - to help keep the motors from going bad. Been there, done that - replacing the motors is NOT a fun time! So I shall add this to my list of things to do on our mini-van. And after driving down to Florida and back and experiencing the "love bugs" I think that I shall invest in a removable screen / bra for the front of the car so I can remove it and clean it. Right now the headlights need a good cleaning - just like you've taught us in the past. Cheers, Mike.
Holy crap! I was thinking my motors were wearing out. You Sir are a gift from God! I’ve got a detail scheduled to the the tune of $325, I bet they don’t even touch the windows other than cleaning the glass.
Glad I could help, and I bet they don't my friend. Thanks for the view and comment, we really appreciate it Kelly. Hope you have a great week. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Just tried this trick out, and it 100% worked for my window! My passenger window rolls up as fast as my driver side now. I was hoping this would also fix how my window is slightly crooked when fully rolled up, but that's probably a different issue.
The old saying, "If you dont use it, it wears out almost faster, when it's not being used." Well nobody ever said you guys were poets, but this is great info, thanks!
Thanks for this. I can't believe I have overlooked cleaning the side channels on the windows and can't wait to give it a try. My front windows are quite slow, this should help a lot.
Happy to help! Thank you for watching and for the comment, we take it as a compliment given your user name :) LOL Have a fantastic week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC

I changed the motor assembly in all the windows, except the drivers, in a 97 Honda accord. With the new motors, the windows moved very slowly. Now I know why the motors burned out. I need to do what you have suggested, maybe twice. Thank you.
I don't have a window problem but it's great to learn something anyway! Would love to see what you do behind the door panel just in case haha I have a coupe which has frameless Windows ;)
Just did this, windows work like new. Only we skipped a few steps. We used a thin cloth over a plastic trim panel remover and stuck that between the rubber,moved it up and down to remove the dirt. Then sprayed inside deep between the rubber using dry silicone with a tube/straw attached, then rolled the window up and down a few times and all the windows are good as new.
Thanks Jason crazy part about the products we use is they can do so many different things on a person‘s car that they never thought of. Have a great day
Dude just blew my mind 🤯 I’ve been wanting to fix my windows forever and I wasn’t even looking for this video but it showed up haha I thank you for your service 🙏🏻
Thanks for the video. I took a toothbrush I had from the .99 cent store and ran it up and down both channels and my window went up and down much faster. I did use the Rainex and dry lube after that. Now don't have to worry about burning out another window motor.

And the faster it rolls up the better because If someone reaches in to steal something while you’re at a light, the better chance you’ll have of locking their arm in and dragging them down the street.
Thanks for video, straight and to the point with not too much talking like most videos out there. Really hoping this works for me and it’s not my motor or wiring that needs replacement.
Thank you for watching and for your comment my friend. Sounds like you've got nothing to lose! Give it a shot. Have a great evening. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Bro your videos are legend quality. I’m always amazed at what you come up with. I made a video about my favorite you tubers of 2017 and you made the list. You are actually one of my favorite out that list
Not trying to be rude any doing the lube might work but you are not getting enough of voltage to the window motors with the vehicle off. You should have the vehicle running. Most likely you will have about 13-14v when running under draw without running you might be 9-10
thank you very much, but the window did this weather the car was running or not...we talked to the customer about it and we were correct in our assumption, their son always sat in the back on the passenger side of the car so the back drivers side window was not used whatsoever that's why they all worked well but the one we did the video on. thanks my friend for your great comment
6 ปีที่แล้ว +2
Doesn't matter if the vehicle is running or not. Same voltage go's through that circuit no matter what. Only difference would be if the battery was low and almost dead and you tried to run the windows while the engine was not running.
I thought the same problem but the window was operated under the same voltage both times. And having said that I am doing all my windows this weekend. 👌🏼
Your character is really coming through now in the voice overs and it really adds to the pleasure of watching a video. Keep going, you are doing your subscribers a lot of good :)
Gotta love it, how to make window fast but the line @2:40 "Now "YOU" take the special lubricant "WE" use and it is not an oil base by any means it is a dry lubricant" ...AND doesn't share what the lubricant actually is??? I could make out it's a product by WD40 but WTF couldn't manage to show it/or say the name of this "special lubricant" which I suspect is a major part of this "how to Video"
He did. It's wd40 dry lube. I guess if you don't know wd40 products it might be confusing but come on all you have to do is type wd40 dry lubricant into Google and bam there it is. Would have taken you alot less time to do that than it did to post this pointless comment. ☣️
Sweet! I'll go get the rain x water repellent to clean the tracks. Then I'll use the WD-40 silicone spray that was used in the video. By the way the link in your description takes you to a website with all natural oils that won't fit into my phone's screen and I couldn't read anything 👀

As long as we are on the subject of power windows... I have an annoying issue that you may have a trick for! When it gets super cold out (Northeast Winters) my window likes to freeze shut. You have to wait for the cabin to warm up on the truck so the window "thaws" out and will go down. It sure would be nice just to hit the switch like summer time and have the window go down! Any suggestions? I am sure I am not the only one with this annoyance, maybe it's video worthy if there is a simple solution?
This vid should help with that freezing. It acts as a moisture barrier. Also make sure the rubber weather seal surrounding the upper window is well conditioned so as to NOT trap water to freeze.
I love your videos. I have a power window that goes down fine but comes up a few inches at a time. Any suggestions??? Ps- we love Rottweilers in our home :)
Awesome videos!! So informative and helpful. It's great to have a "one stop" youtuber for all the detailing tricks instead of gathering videos from different sources. You guys are the BEST!
WD40s PTFE Dry Lubricant. Guide the straw by running your fingers along the edges of the rubbers inner and outer so that the lube doesnt just go into the deepest bit of the groove but lube the sides too. For an even better job remove the door card and access the lower guides and lube those too. You may see down to them through the window aperture using a torch and this will save door card removal. Dont use regular grease or WD40 or any old lube. Use the dry PTFE type. An air gun is ideal to blow any tiny bits of grit out the runners too if the glass sounds a bit scratchy.
The window tracks are an important component to keep clean and lubricated, but newer vehicles that have cable operated regulators also have metal slide rails that need to be lubricated and the steel cables that pull the window up and down also need to be lubricated. Rubbing a wax candle on the cables does an excellent job. These steps do require disassembly of the door, but the motor and regulator will outlast the life of the vehicle.
We use this now on all of the cables/tracks tinyurl.com/bdf6a6ky it's a phenomenal lubricant and you are correct, the motor/regulator will outlast the vehicle doing this lube process! Thanks for the view and comment, have a great rest of your week my friend. mad Mike
Damn that's a nice trick. I was actually looking for stronger windowsmotors so i can get my car windows to roll up and down as fast as a Rolls Royce does.
You guys rock! I would like to see the inside door pannel clean out video. I cleaned the window channels like you said and it's a bit better, but still slow.
"Sweeeeeeet!!! Gonna go try this, my windows are beginning to drag a little here recently, must be the problem. Thanks a million!!!!😎 "SHOUT OUT!!!" 😲😁
great vdeo! my 1999 Camry goes slow up and down! i replaced the motor on every door and no difference! I'm gonna try this today and report my results. Hopefully I'm successful!
Wow never thought of doing this! I’ll be trying this tomorrow on my weak 98 XJ windows see if I can get them moving faster! Thank you for sharing your tips!
Yes I'd like to see the how to video on inside the door panel. My windows are going down slow but up fast. 95 Ford Explorer and thanks for the videos you help me out bunches.
Wow! I drive a 1999 chevy cavalier and my car has the roll up windows not the electric ones. My drivers side window is givivg me a little bit of a hard time rooling up and down. The passenger window is ok. I will try this when i get home from work. Thanks for the tip!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching and sharing Magdaleno, we truly appreciate it. Welcome Texas, hope you have a great weekend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Great video! I did something like this several years ago on a teenaged Mazda Miata; they are notorious for windows that get slow and eventually burn out the motors. It has frameless windows so I instead cut a slit in the plastic vapor barrier, reached in and cleaned the tracks and also the front vertical channel with brake cleaner. I then relubed the tracks with lithium grease, and silicone spray on the front vertical channel. I also found the window switch had heavy carbon deposits: cleaning that off also worked a treat. Was wondering what is it about the Rain-X that makes it a good cleaner in this case?
I'm replacing 2 window motors because they went out within a month of each other and I chose not to use the others. I thought the window fell out of the track/holder (happened on my older autos). When I went in to fix it I found a mess of wire coming out of the motor.

And the faster it rolls up the better because
If someone reaches in to steal something
while you’re at a light, the better chance
you’ll have of locking their arm in and dragging
them down the street.
LOL, that is true!! Thanks for watching and for the chuckle this morning. Hope you have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Grind the legs off those thieves
I did this to my newish car and now the windows popped through the rocker panels that's how fast they went.

Thanks for video, straight and to the point with not too much talking like most videos out there. Really hoping this works for me and it’s not my motor or wiring that needs replacement.
Thank you for watching and for your comment my friend. Sounds like you've got nothing to lose! Give it a shot. Have a great evening. mad Mike the hammer SPC

LOL, true! Thanks for watching Steve, we appreciate it. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Great video, tomorrow I’ll run to auto parts for the cleaner and lubricant to give it a shot. I was thinking it was the motor that was bad.
Glad to help Ricardoso! Thank you for watching and sharing, have a great day and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC

Can you do a video about a full engine detail which is cheap and less time consuming but gives the same results as a concours show stand job.
vikings we will see what we can do for you on the engine compartment detailing thank you my friend :)
Sweet Project Cars
Thank you much appreciated.
you are very welcome :)
Bro your videos are legend quality. I’m always amazed at what you come up with. I made a video about my favorite you tubers of 2017 and you made the list. You are actually one of my favorite out that list
AutOdometer thank you very much and we are very flattered, to say the least ...We appreciate you more than you know :)
🤷🏽♂️And just think the whole time I
thought the saying was, "if you don't use it, you lose it"🧐🤣
Thanks for watching. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Great idea! My Toyota Scion XB is REALLY slow.
_But I'll use a 'chop-stick' because screwdrivers always seem to poke through._
*THANKS!!!*
I love this channel
Thank you Bernardo g we thank you for coming here to watch :)
This also takes load off the motor which will prolong its life. Good tip!

You sir, just gained a subscriber. Great info!
Welcome aboard! Thank you for watching my friend, we truly appreciate it. Hope you have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I knew about the silicon spray trick, but not the cleaning the track. Thank you!
Mike
Glad to help, thanks for your comment my friend. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Not trying to be rude any doing the lube might work but you are not getting enough of voltage to the window motors with the vehicle off. You should have the vehicle running. Most likely you will have about 13-14v when running under draw without running you might be 9-10
thank you very much, but the window did this weather the car was running or not...we talked to the customer about it and we were correct in our assumption, their son always sat in the back on the passenger side of the car so the back drivers side window was not used whatsoever that's why they all worked well but the one we did the video on. thanks my friend for your great comment
Doesn't matter if the vehicle is running or not. Same voltage go's through that circuit no matter what. Only difference would be if the battery was low and almost dead and you tried to run the windows while the engine was not running.
I thought the same problem but the window was operated under the same voltage both times. And having said that I am doing all my windows this weekend. 👌🏼
SGT you nailed it my friend thank you for your great comments and being here with us :)
Harry you will love the results thank you for your great comments and being here with us :)
Your character is really coming through now in the voice overs and it really adds to the pleasure of watching a video. Keep going, you are doing your subscribers a lot of good :)
bigblue ya we had to go from car detailers to video guys and gals it was a bit tough but we are getting it slowly :) thank you for your support
Make the video of door apart yes
that video is coming up my friend thank you for your great comments and being here with us :)
Who would have thought? Now I don't have to buy a new car! Keep those great tips coming.
thank you very much :)
Gotta love it, how to make window fast but the line @2:40 "Now "YOU" take the special lubricant "WE" use and it is not an oil base by any means it is a dry lubricant" ...AND doesn't share what the lubricant actually is??? I could make out it's a product by WD40 but WTF couldn't manage to show it/or say the name of this "special lubricant" which I suspect is a major part of this "how to Video"
He did. It's wd40 dry lube. I guess if you don't know wd40 products it might be confusing but come on all you have to do is type wd40 dry lubricant into Google and bam there it is. Would have taken you alot less time to do that than it did to post this pointless comment. ☣️
Good basic practical and to the point. Best video I’ve watched for a while
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much for watching and sharing, we appreciate it Trevor. Have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Never seen something like this done before. Do you think this will stop my windows from squeaking everytime I put them up and down? Lol
Sure will! Thanks for watching and asking. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Use superglue, it will lubricate the rubber trim better than wd40 or anything else
@@BMW_nation maybe blinker fluid after that 🙄
@@BMW_nation 🤣🤣
I always thought it was the motor. This is way cheaper then replacing that part! I'm going to do this on my 04 Civic Ex.
Great to hear Eric! Thank you for watching and sharing my friend. Have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
YOURE THE BOMB
toosweet thank you very much my friend :)
Sweet! I'll go get the rain x water repellent to clean the tracks. Then I'll use the WD-40 silicone spray that was used in the video.
By the way the link in your description takes you to a website with all natural oils that won't fit into my phone's screen and I couldn't read anything 👀
You will love the results Byron! Thanks for watching, have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Hello All our Great Sweet Project Cars Friends! We have a great way to help take the load off your window motors by allowing the glass to move more freely and in turn last longer. We hope You enjoy and find great value in it. Have a great Weekend everyone. Also, Check out our Newest Channel for motorcycles... Sweet Scoots
Can you please do a video on how to fix slow seat belts? When I get out my car its really slow to coil back in. Thank you
As long as we are on the subject of power windows... I have an annoying issue that you may have a trick for! When it gets super cold out (Northeast Winters) my window likes to freeze shut. You have to wait for the cabin to warm up on the truck so the window "thaws" out and will go down. It sure would be nice just to hit the switch like summer time and have the window go down! Any suggestions? I am sure I am not the only one with this annoyance, maybe it's video worthy if there is a simple solution?
This vid should help with that freezing. It acts as a moisture barrier. Also make sure the rubber weather seal surrounding the upper window is well conditioned so as to NOT trap water to freeze.
I love your videos. I have a power window that goes down fine but comes up a few inches at a time. Any suggestions??? Ps- we love Rottweilers in our home :)
Why do you use rainx water repellent? Just curious..
Thank you so much for this. It fixed my window and was a huge relief. I will definitely do this from now on.
Glad it helped! Thank you for watching and sharing, we truly appreciate it my friend. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
SOME BAD ASS SHIT. MONEY SAVER. LOVING IT THANK'S!😆
soul thank you very much my friend :)
I’m impressed and and I never thought of cleaning the channels .And I will perform this ASAP.Maryland showing 👌🏾
Awesome, you will love the results my friend. Thanks for watching and sharing, glad to have you with us. Have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
The saying is use it or lose it lol
Awesome videos!! So informative and helpful. It's great to have a "one stop" youtuber for all the detailing tricks instead of gathering videos from different sources. You guys are the BEST!
tee roy thank you so very much :)
Just did this trick today as preventive maintenance to keep them operating smoothly.
Both GM and Ford make a dry lube for body/window seal conditioning. Great stuff!
We found this tinyurl.com/bdf6a6ky and it's all we use now! Thanks for the view Scott, have a great week. mad Mike & team
WD40s PTFE Dry Lubricant. Guide the straw by running your fingers along the edges of the rubbers inner and outer so that the lube doesnt just go into the deepest bit of the groove but lube the sides too.
For an even better job remove the door card and access the lower guides and lube those too. You may see down to them through the window aperture using a torch and this will save door card removal.
Dont use regular grease or WD40 or any old lube. Use the dry PTFE type. An air gun is ideal to blow any tiny bits of grit out the runners too if the glass sounds a bit scratchy.
thanks for sharing
The window tracks are an important component to keep clean and lubricated, but newer vehicles that have cable operated regulators also have metal slide rails that need to be lubricated and the steel cables that pull the window up and down also need to be lubricated. Rubbing a wax candle on the cables does an excellent job. These steps do require disassembly of the door, but the motor and regulator will outlast the life of the vehicle.
We use this now on all of the cables/tracks tinyurl.com/bdf6a6ky it's a phenomenal lubricant and you are correct, the motor/regulator will outlast the vehicle doing this lube process! Thanks for the view and comment, have a great rest of your week my friend. mad Mike
Damn that's a nice trick. I was actually looking for stronger windowsmotors so i can get my car windows to roll up and down as fast as a Rolls Royce does.
This method works great Marshall!! Thank you for the view and comment, have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I like it , cheap and cheerful with a little bit of effort = big rewards . That's me
Right on Robert! That's how we roll and what we like to share with our great subscribers :) Hope your day is the best! mad Mike the hammer SPC

You guys rock! I would like to see the inside door pannel clean out video. I cleaned the window channels like you said and it's a bit better, but still slow.
J Law thank you, very much for the great and kind comments, we are very glad you are here with us :)

Absolutely, it's our pleasure! Thank you so much for watching. Hope you have a great day Arthur. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Did it work?
I've been doing that for 20 plus years on all my power glass. Try silicone spray works a treat.
Thanks for watching and sharing Shayne! Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Yes I'd like to see the how to video on inside the door panel. My windows are going down slow but up fast. 95 Ford Explorer and thanks for the videos you help me out bunches.
randy that video is coming up thank you for your great comments and being here with us :)
.Sweet. Who would've thought about this working so simply.
Wow! I drive a 1999 chevy cavalier and my car has the roll up windows not the electric ones. My drivers side window is givivg me a little bit of a hard time rooling up and down. The passenger window is ok. I will try this when i get home from work. Thanks for the tip!
Our pleasure, thanks for sharing! Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Wow !! Thanks amigo. Greetings from Texas.
You're welcome! Thank you for watching and sharing Magdaleno, we truly appreciate it. Welcome Texas, hope you have a great weekend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Great video! I did something like this several years ago on a teenaged Mazda Miata; they are notorious for windows that get slow and eventually burn out the motors. It has frameless windows so I instead cut a slit in the plastic vapor barrier, reached in and cleaned the tracks and also the front vertical channel with brake cleaner. I then relubed the tracks with lithium grease, and silicone spray on the front vertical channel. I also found the window switch had heavy carbon deposits: cleaning that off also worked a treat.
Was wondering what is it about the Rain-X that makes it a good cleaner in this case?
