Hi guys!
It's finally started to get a little chilly here, and my power windows on the Celi have been really slow since it's gotten cold. Does anyone know why this is and what I might be able to do to fix them? Thanks! Samantha |

mine were frozen the other night, as in, i couldn't lower them at all, they were stuck.
after it heats up, it's fine. you just gotta let the heater blast for a few minutes. |

If your windows are frozen up, its probably a sign that its too cold to put them down

You're right - it's really not THAT cold here. The longer I stay in the south, the colder it seems....

my guess is the grease on the gears harden up to a tar like consistancy, mine does the exact same thing
