I have come across somewhere in this forum, people that have suffered from slow windows (on closing).
I have purchased the Haynes manual (appalingly laid out). Anyone got any advice as to how to cure?
Seems as if there is a lot of pressure at the base of the window, if window if pushed from inside, pressure spot is alleviated and window goes up significantly faster. Fiat had changed on a number of occassions something called the weatherstrip, since then geriatric window.
I have had the motor tested, and replaced to 2nd generation so have ruled out slow motor. In the summer (all 10 days that we had in the UK) window was fine so can only put it down to stiffening of plastics and rubbers. Advice please fellow Bravo sufferers.

the same for me

my bravo suffers the same problem... i 've a '97 model.Please help me...!!!

What fixed it for me

I had a similar problem with the passenger window.
When the car was in for a routine service during the summer I asked the mechanic to check it out. He greased the window runner(?), problem solved!
I agree with your comments on the Haynes manual, in 25 years using various bike/car manuals from them, it's the worst I ever come across.

Slow Window, dealer is no help

I have been unfortunate enough to come across this problem with my 97 Bravo and still be suffering from it. After three visits to the dealer this year with this problem they have given me the news that there is NO problem, sure enough after the runners have been greased it runs fine for about 2 weeks however after that time the problem returns. The advice I have been given by my ever helpful dealer is that i will need to re grease the runners every 3 weeks or so!!! Hmmmm

Also has anyone else noticed the window button light on the passenger side go out while the window is going up & down, this does not happen for the drivers side???

Yep i noticed the exact same thing with the light on the passenger side - its drives me nuts.
As for the slow windows i noticed mine got slower after installing a total closure module for the alarm - so i used a special type of oil similar to WD-40 except for nylon - since then they have been grand
