Both my front windows on my car are binding. I started working on the drivers side by lubing it. Now it goes up great but binds in one spot going down. If I help it just a little it goes down fine. I haven't taken the door panel off yet.
I'm thinking it may need to be lubed inside. Just thought i'd check with you all first. Thanks, Don

Went to put down drivers side window down. Heard a pop and know the window leans forward and cant put window down. I did get it to roll up. What is wrong? Dan Dailey

I have power window's, everytime there is moisture, rain, snow or dew they don't want to open. I can play with the switch to make it go down about 2 inches, then back up a few time, and sometime's it will open. What should I look at to fix this probelm?
