More HP for my Power Windows! Options

[DVSBastard]

What I mean is my power windows have seemed to slow down a fair bit over the ages and I would like to get them back up to speed!

A couple of suggestions I have been given (but am yet to try):
Silicone spray surrounding seals
Lubricate window tracks
Replace / recondition the motors (not too keen on that one)
Mini NOS kit for my windows

However, I am more after as quick a fix as possible (i.e. something that doesn't require me to remove all the door trims, motors, etc).

Does anyone have any suggestions, or has anyone done anything about a similar power window speed issues?

i work for a company that builds window regulators for auto manufacturers, so i know a little about them.

the best suggestion i have is to check how much juice you're getting at the terminals. you'll have to do a little bit of disassembly. i would do this while the car is running and your typical load is present (i see you have amps...if they're usually on, they draw quite a bit of current) most motors are designed to operate reliably at around 14v, and they'll obviously run slower the less they get.

if you're not getting sufficient voltage there, i'd recommend that you turn things off/unplug them and see what helps.

it's a pain to dismount the track and motor assembly in our cars, so lubricating it will be pretty low on the list solely from an effort standpoint. you'd have to remove the regulator completely to lube it effectively.

hope that helps a little!
