Hey Guys
Im about to receive power window regulators from another member on here, and i know that ive read somewhere that you can "rejuvenate" power windows. so how do i do this? and does it last long or do i have to do it every 6 months or so?


PS: IVE SEARCHED


Thanks Guys!

lolz I was going to open a thread like this in a few days! :D ahah You beat me to it!

So I Would love to know the answer too! :D

and is there anything else that i need to know when installing the power regs.. they just go back in the exact same way as the manual regs came out right?

The fronts should, but I heard that the rear elec regs dont go on the same as the manual regs. I remember reading somewhere that it was a good idea to go to a wreckers or somewhere to see how/where they are mounted. But I should be getting my regs this week, so I will have a look then!

Clean old grease from the guides, and apply Lithium Spray.

that all?

I just sprayed silicone spray down the guides when I was swapping inserts over, made a good difference on the drivers that was getting slow.

any other hints guys? and thanks for your responses guys

Hey guys, When installing the Regs, is the window glass supposed to be down? Or up?

I think they go on in opposite orientation, I remember Mal saying something about that when he did his power window conversion, might be an idea to throw him a PM and just ask (madmagna).

Hmm, need to look into this for my car, rear windows are perfect, front passenger is *ok*, drivers one is :wtf:

so guys whats better? lithium spray or silicon spray? and what are the costs?

I just sprayed the track in the middle of the door, put the window up and down a few times and gave it another squirt. Also cleaned the felt on the door trim and the two fluffy things just inside the top of the door

Got mine from carbitz, was about $11 I think.

Just gave it a wipe with a clean cloth and made sure there was no crap stuck to it that could scratch the glass

Hi, so do we just spray the sides of the windows when the glass is down and then the general mechanics behind the door panel?
