My windows roll up and down slowly. Is this due to motors about to go out or is there a fix i can do withought replacing anything?

daman: only two things slow a window down. 1, something binding or 2, a motor on the way out. I am assuming your battery\charging system is ok. Easiest way to check which one it is is to take the trim panel off and lube everything in sight. Lube the window runs with silicone spray and the rest with grease. If that fixes it great, if not replaceing the window motors is your only option. jim

when you lube the tracks make sure none of the felt or anything else is bound up in the tracks too

Almost 2 years of work, but it was really worth the effort. Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shotJim or Paladin whichever you choose.
