Rear electric window problem

Post by th0m45 »

Hi guys, got a leccy rear windows fitted to my Sri, but there's a slight problem with one if them..
LHS one works fine but the RHS one is a little dodgy, it goes down about an inch then stops for a second, then goes down another inch and stops, and so on. Same goes for the way up.
I replaced the mechanism before because it was completely dud. Anyone got any ideas what's up with it now?

It could be that the window guide is a little too tight.

Try re-aligning the guide or spraying it with silicone spray.
