Hello

The electric windows on my honda integra 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

Repeat after me:

"WD40 will gum up whatever it touches".

Buy some clear silicone spray.

I used the Shin-Etsu grease from the dealer. I can probably dig up the
p/n if you want it.

Thanks everyone for replies

Managed to sort it out. 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!
