Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / January 2007Electics Windows sticking
Hello The electric windows on my 147 have been sticking and shuddering up and down when operated. Sometimes they slow to a crawl when opening. Pretty sure they just need some lubricant to get going again but I'm not sure what to use on them? Any suggesstions? WD40 ok? Thanks Davea, use some silicon spray on the window tracks. It might work, it did for me six years ago, been alright since. Bill Jackson. Hi Bill Thanks, will get some today. Do I need to take the interior panel off the door to spray the window tracks or can I just spray between the rubber seal and glass with the window up? > Davea, use some silicon spray on the window tracks. > It might work, it did for me six years ago, been alright since. > Bill Jackson. > Hi Bill > > Thanks, will get some today.

I'd wind the window down, spray silicon / furniture polish / ArmorAll into the tracks and wind it back up again.

In a short time it will turn into a gummy mess and you'll be if far worse shape, use the proper lubricant for the application. Hi - I had EXACTLY this problem with my 147. I took it back to the dealer and they repaired it. They said that they had to access the mechanism of the electric window via the door panel and (I’m sorry I can’t remember exactly what they said to me but...) they said that they had to reseat something that had jumped out of position. Apparently this was fairly common with 147’s. Hope this helps > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks SignaturePosted at author's request, using http://www.AutoBoardz.com interface Articles individually verified to usenet standards.

A few sprays of silicone grease on the window tracks, window up and down a few times and they are working perfectly now. Another bill saved! |
