Windows Juttering

[VR4Rocket]

Just a quick question....my windows seem to judder while going up at random periods.....anyone else had this? is it from the rubber/plastic not holding it inline while it is coming up?

 

[Guest]

I sometimes get it, not too bad though. Might be a common thing?

 

[Guest]

yeah, i've noticed it once too. never happened since so i didn't worry about it.

dirty/sticky rubber runners not letting the glass move smoothly,

mine does it everytime on the drivers window, but when going down...shakes like mad, halfway down...??? loose reg maybe???

If it were my window I'll pull the door trim off, take the glass out and check all the runners, supports and felt. I've seen problems like that from both rusted supports and sticky felt / rubber.

Bit of WD40 eh

silicone spray is the way to go. spray it on the rubbers. wd40 is too messy

^^^ What Dave said - use silicone spray, not WD40. That will deteriorate the rubber apart from making a mess.

I don't have this prob, but if I did I reckon I would be using a drylube pressure pack. Like what ya use on roller doors.

i wouldnt be using any lube on it, take them out and clean them,
(they arnt greesed from factory so it shouldnt be needed)

even silicone spray is not good for the life of rubber.

if you absolutely have to use a lube, it should be rubber greese which does not deteriorate rubber. only a very minimal amount should be used.
