I just bought an 87 honda civic, which is great, but the power windows are SO slow to come up, and sometimes don't come up at all. They usually always move down, but won't come up (except for really slowly).
I have spent alot of money on this car already, and I need the cheapest possible solution, so some advice would be appreciated. The rubber in between the windows seems to cling a bit. Is it possible thats causing the delay on the wind up?
I know its an old car, so maybe thats where the problem is, but is there an extremely economic solution to this problem?
Thank you.|||Well you could try using a little armor all or silicone spray on the places where it contacts the window. But my money is the silenoid/relay is bad, you have to take the door panel off to replace it, they are usually about $5-$10 each. If that didn't fix it check the switch, if you have redundant switches see if any make them go faster, sometimes you have a voltage drop when the switches get old, they too are pretty cheap to replace.
Other than that its the window motor getting weak and they will cost $65-$120 per motor and require removal of the door panel, then you have to grind the heads off the rivets that hold the motor in. Then put in the new motor.
A repair manual can be picked up at the local parts store for 10 bucks and will guide you thru the process to fix it.
