Hello, Hi.

My windows seem to just keep getting slower over a long period of time.

When i wind all them up at once the back ones sometimes may just stop 30mm from closed and then i need to put them up individually.

Does this sound like a shitty battery or dying motors?? Cause i know in my parents prado, all the windows wind up so fast they nearly break the sound barrier.

Cheers,
Steve

To me it sounds like the battery could be on it's way out, mine were really slow then changed battery and it made a huge difference.

If it was only happening to 1 of the windows then that would probably indicate a motor.

Im happy to be corrected if wrong.

Cheers,

Ash.

I've heard a little bit of silicone spray can help with the sticky

Your channels will be full of shit and drying grease from years of use.

Spray some CRC 5.56 down the channels as you run them up and down. ;)

I find silicon spray works best for the channels.
Even better if you pull the door trims and grease the regulator as well.

Dont use the windows wih the engine off. The lower voltage means less current so the motor is working harder.

If they are slow with the engine running, it has nothing to do with the battery.
