Evildaifu,thanks very much buds this is a helpful vid..been meaning to do the misses ba window for some time now,its driving me insane.I used the powder stuff,but this seems easier and cleaner I think..

Ya know what they say "Happy Woman - Happy Home"

Have to repeat roughly every 3 months but is a cheap as chips workaround. Use the pure silicon spray though - WD-40 spray stinks and if you use that you'll need to drive around with window down for a couple of weeks

Yeah I tried graphite as well but it's a bugger to get in and for me wasn't as effective as silicon spray.

Hope it helps

Does the silicon leave any residue on the glass?

and does it affect tint at all?

Found my own answer in the Workshop Manual:

Power window operates sluggishly

9. Check the regulator and window runs for binding.

Adjust the runs, repair and lubricate the regulator.

Lubricate the runs with silicone lubricant.

10. Check for frayed insulation where the window

wires may partially ground. Check for loose

connections which will cause high resistance.

11. Check motor current draw during operation (place

an ammeter in series with the ground lead of the

battery). Motor current draw should not exceed 12

amps during normal operation and should exceed

20 amps at stall. If the current is above 12 amps

during operations of the window, readjust the

glass mechanism. If the stall current is below 20

amperes at stall, look for poor electrical

connections.

12. Motor current draw when disconnected from the

regulator plate should not exceed 5 amps.

Hi Mate, no residue on the glass that I can see.

I've got a tint but my tint was peeling before I tried this workaround. My tints been peeling on all 5 windows because the previous owner had a crap tint job done - so can't comment authoratively. But as you can see in the vid on the front edge of my drivers side window - the tint is fine. I've done this workaround 3 times now and it does not have affected the tint.
