noticed my windows go down very slow only somtimes thow?

[iamlegend]

I have noticed my windows go down pretty slow at times, now i use the switch on the drivers side and passenger side so the motors seem to be fine! next thing i am thinking is the battery i need a new battery anyways as it looks old and had the odd battery light on but not anymore.

think it will solve the problem??

its pretty annoying at times goes the window goes fast halfway down then takes ages(like a snail in a race) to go fully down

its normal for this to happen to a certain level because of the power the window motor uses to start not so much in new cars tho

an ignition amplifier will help. mines doing the same atm its a pain in the arse, could also be your window motors ready to break!

[LukeSR]

Mine have been slow since i bought it.. I just deal with it

[ajchopper]

My drivers side does this to but only when cold, ive greased the mech but it didn't make any difference. Maybe i need more grease lol.

ignition amp

my mate had a hks 1 on his glanza and his windows where super speedy lol dunno if this would do the same job?

Mine go down as fast as i can wind them

[1bar]

manual wind ups ftw

[Raz]

I prefer wind up ones tbh, less weight. But in other cars i will prefer electric one lol where the weight doesn't matter so much.

[lukEp]

If you battery light has come on it alternator not charging it won't be the battery, battery problems are slow lazy starting or quickly discharging and going flat by just listening to the radio.

You got to remember the mech on these windows are at least 12years old now and after constant use will wear. Try dry silicone spray on the runners that locate the glass and see if there's an adjuster in the door to compensate for the wear I know rover have something similar. Also if your engine is struggling to idle when under load maybe an earthing check to make sure your body/engine has a good earth maybe an earthing kit.

wind ups ftw, i bet i can beat yours when your windows arent being slow either

[Ryan5793]

mine are slow too ahaa!

[LukeSR]

Wind-ups may be faster, but we don't have to climb over to wind the passengers down

[Wantaglanz]

mine are slow and make a groaning noise haha

[aleximport25]

In the cold my drivers side don't even make it to the bottom when it's cold It falls short by 5 inch

[drongo boi]

Wd40 ftw 😜 always worked for me just spray it on the runners
