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

Electrical problem
1998 Buick Park Avenue 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 98.450 miles

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?

The circuit would have to be tested to know for sure but your probably looking at a bad motor. In this car the motor comes with the regulator also.
