Technical What caused Electric Window jam??

[60sx]

its kind of slow moving down on the passenger side, will WD40 do the job??

I find that a slow boiling of some Electric Window fruit, and some Electric Window sugar makes a nice ELectric Window jam
Rather than using WD40, which is oily, I think a silicon or PTFE based lubricant on the runners might help.

I had this problem on mine, i took my doorcard off and ripped throught the plastic to get a look at what was happening whilst it was going down, as far as i can remember there was only one nylon (or similar) runner on the bottom of the window. mine is badly worn and i didnt wasnt to fiddle too much so in the end i jammed a little bit of cardboad between the glass and the runner (it probably wouldnt be classed as 'a runner', more of a point where the window is attached to the drive system ) that didnt really do much so i just did as others have now suggested and coated the felt window runners either side of the window in a lubricant that was silicone based, cannot remember what it was called though

On another note, if you grab the top of the window while it is midway down, does it move to the left and right alot (towards the front then the back of the car) feeling loose?
